Closer's very own producing wunderkind Rebecca Summerton is heading to Toronto as we speak!

Featuring Tom Ward (from ABC's hit comedy 'Please Like Me') and Erin James (AACTA nominated for her role in 'The Little Death'), 'Ceiling' is a romantic comedy with a bit of sumthin-sumthin added in for good measure...
Partnering with local post wunderhouse Kojo Pictures and financed by South Australian Film Corporation and the Adelaide Film Festival, the film is written & directed by Closer's third Matt (Vesely) and produced by Sophie Hyde and new friend of Closer Christine Williams. Thanks also to the radical dudes at Carclew Youth Arts that supported the film's development.
The film shot for four days on location at Entropy cafe in Thebarton (seriously good eatin' y'all we recommend) with a top notch SA crew. Matt listened to a lot of emo to get prepared for it (cos he listens to a lot of emo, like, all the time) but we swear it's mostly about the lolz.
Synopsis:
