THE SUNNYBOY

2015/ 89 MIN

Writer/Director: Kaye Harrison

Frontman Jeremy Oxley of the Australian band the Sunnyboys has had a 30-year battle with schizophrenia.  A meditation on a condition often stigmatised and misunderstood, The Sunnyboy buries below the surface of Jeremy’s public identity to explore his own reality.  The film follows Jeremy as he tentatively unpicks his confused thoughts and feelings about the past with his brother Peter. From his struggle with the physical effects of years spent self-medicating to his hopeful contemplation of a married future and a daring return to the stage,  The Sunnyboy is one man's inspired story of survival and hope.
