Samson & Delilah is Warwick Thornton’s first feature film as writer/director

Despite its title it bears no resemblance to the biblical story. It’s about two kids, young teenagers in a community in the central desert. Samson,(ROWAN McNAMARA) is a petrol-sniffing layabout who would play music if only his brother would let him.

Warwick Thornton has been waiting patiently for about 20 years to make a feature film.

Warwick was a teenage DJ at CAAMA and he used to watch the video unit vehicle drive off to exotic places and was forced to hear all the stories when they came back. When a media traineeship came up he jumped at the chance and hasn’t looked back.
