Blue Horizon

Walk the red carpet and celebrate another wonderful Gold Coast Film Festival with the World Premiere of BLUE HORIZON, a feel good film with a lot of heart and good vibes, with a strong focus on inclusion and the power of friendship.

BLUE HORIZON tells the story of Maris Le Marcus, a famous and privileged musician, who maintains a selfish and carefree lifestyle of excess: girls, drugs and trouble. He is void of trust and refuses to let anyone grow close to him due to his difficult upbringing. After a brush with the law due to some poor life choices, he finds himself obligated to perform community service at a wellness centre for people living with disabilities. There he meets a resident named Douglas, a reclusive man with severe Cerebral Palsy. When Maris finds out they were both orphaned and raised in state care, a friendship forms that sets them on a path to change both of their lives for the better.

BLUE HORIZON was Directed by local Josh Hale and stars David Cook, Damian McCoy, Pete Murray and Chantal Elyse.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with the Filmmakers in Cinema. 

The Gold Coast Film Festival 2025 Closing Night Gala is possible thanks to the support of our Major Partners Screen Queensland, Australia's Gold Coast, Tourism and Events Queensland along with Experience Gold Coast and venue partner HOTA (Home of the Arts).
