Set to host Flickerfest on Extra for its second year, Damian Walshe-Howling is a good candidate for the gig. The actor, known for his work on shows such as Underbelly and Blue Heelers, is a short film enthusiast himself, having entered his short film, The Bloody Sweet Hit, into Flickerfest a couple of years ago to a warm reception.
