Join us for an exclusive panel discussion with creatives from the new Netflix series, Boy Swallows Universe.


Adapted from Trent Dalton's iconic Australian novel, this series is a poignant and stirring journey through 1980s Brisbane, interweaving the innocence of youth with the stark realities of the adult world.


Featuring the author Trent Dalton, lead actor Lee Tiger Halley, and producer Andrew Mason.


The series brings to life the tale of Eli Bell, a young boy navigating a path filled with a lost father, a mute brother, a recovering addict mother, a heroin dealer stepfather, and a notorious criminal as a babysitter. It's a story about the journey from boyhood to manhood, the thin line between good and evil, and the profound experiences of everyday life.


With a stellar cast including Simon Baker, Felix Cameron, Zac Burgess, Lee Tiger Halley, Travis Frimmel, and Phoebe Tonkin.


Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to hear from the key creatives who brought this magnificent series to life.
