"The Sneak Peek program is an important way for the Gold Coast Film Festival to interact with its members and supporters throughout the year at times other than the annual event. We always try to include special guests at these events and to promote Australian films where possible. This film is particularly exciting to be involved with because the original film The Wog Boy, released ten years ago, was a huge Australian box office hit taking over $13M. I personally am very excited to hear Nick Giannopoulos talk about the journey between the two films over the last decade, to learn what inspired the follow up film and to hear his thoughts on being the creator of one of Australia's most successful film franchises".
