Project Summary
The Best Of marks Toni Collette's feature directorial debut, an adaptation of Graeme Simsion's bestselling novel The Best of Adam Sharp. The romantic dramedy follows two ex-lovers who come back into each other's lives after spending decades apart, only to find old feelings stirring with messy and mixed results. Collette directs and produces alongside Christopher Simon, with Mark Watson penning the screenplay. The project is one of 75 narrative productions sharing in Screen Australia's latest funding round of more than AUD 16. 9 million in production and development support, and is also backed by Screen NSW. Kismet will handle local distribution, with Cornerstone managing international sales.
