Lilydale Films is proud to announce the release of its latest feature film, “Detention with Daisy.” This unique YA romance takes a fresh approach to the familiar setting of after-school detention.

Directed by Melbourne based filmmaker Ric Forster and produced by Melanie Rowland, “Detention with Daisy” offers a heart-warming and unexpected exploration of young love.

Breaking away from traditional scripting, the film’s talented cast, including Jasmine Hope, Tyneak Hellings, Keira O’Connor, and Harriette St Ledger, utilized improvised dialogue to create a raw and authentic portrayal of a blossoming queer relationships. This innovative approach brings a new level of realism and spontaneity to the story.

As the seventh feature film instalment in the popular “Flunk” universe, “Detention with Daisy” seamlessly blends into the established world while offering a standalone viewing experience.

“By allowing the actors the freedom to improvise, we were able to capture authentic and unexpected moments that truly brought the characters to life,” says director Ric Forster. “This approach has resulted in a film that feels fresh, honest, and moving.”

“We’re thrilled to showcase the stunning beauty of Victoria on the big screen,” says producer Melanie Rowland. “By supporting local talent and telling authentic stories, we hope to inspire and entertain audiences around the world.”
