Storyline
Twenty-something best friends, Lea and Gabby, spend the summer on Lake Fortescue having the time of their lives. Their dynamic is tested when Lea's macho boyfriend Kevin arrives. Things only get worse as Lea's mental health begins unravelling, with only days left to go before the three friends put on a play for the Fortescue residents.
Fortescue is about female friendship, misogyny, and psychosis. It is the debut feature film of director Rebbeccah Love, who has made waves at festivals with shorts like Parlour Palm and Eve Parade.
