It started over a beer. Melbourne-born Sam Holst was having a drink with his mate Mike Robinson who told him a story about his first day of work inside a meatworks. Sam's curiosity was ignited. Two and half years later his ten-minute film Meathead is screening In Competition for the coveted Palme d'Or in the short film category of the 64th Cannes Film Festival. Sam, 31, has tasted success at Cannes before; in 2006 he screened as part of the Young Director Award at the Cannes Lions Festival for the short film Swing which he wrote and directed as part of the Tac's Make A Film Make a Difference (Mafad) initiative.
