All in all seven Australian films have made the cut for Toronto 2010 including Blame, Wasted on the Young, Griff the Invisible, and Jucy.
Billed as "a womantic comedy of platonic proportions" Jucy is the new film from director Louise Alston following her breakout first feature All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane.
Here's the lowdown, from the Tiff programme. Jackie (Cindy Nelson) and Lucy (Francesca Gasteen) are two twentysomething best friends who've made an art of not doing much. They're so inseparable that they've earned the collective moniker "Jucy."

Australian playwright and screenwriter Stephen Vagg and his wife, director Louise Alston, have teamed up again for Jucy, a new film about the payoffs and pitfalls that riddle modern relationships. The film has been described as "womantic" (the female equivalent of a "bromance") - it has the sentiment and trajectory of a romantic comedy, but it's about finding friends, not romance. Vagg and Alston are the creative team behind the indie Australian comedy, All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane. Jucy will be the second installment in what will hopefully be a trilogy of quarter-life-crisis themed films. Jucy is a subtly crafted script examining the suburban status quo, and the relationships that create it: "It's about the changing nature of relationships in the 21st century, and in particular the intense bonds that can form between platonic couples.
