Griff the Invisible stars Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) and Maeve Dermody (Black Water, Beautiful Kate) and tells the story of what happens when Griff, an office worker by day, and a superhero by night, has his world turned upside down when he meets Melody, a beautiful young scientist who shares his passion for the impossible.

Griff is a simple man, in a simple job, living a simple life. Or so it seems….What his co-workers don’t know is that Griff is not who he seems to be. At the end of each day,when everyone else goes home, Griff disappears into a starkly different world. A world where nothing is safe, where the person next to you could be your mortal enemy. Griff is a secret agent and part-time super hero. At least that’s what he thinks he is. A lone-wolf with a job to do, on the fringes of society, fighting for freedom and justice. Melody is a loner too. Working in a dead-end job, still living at home, with embarrassing parents who spend most of their time inviting inappropriate men for family dinners. She wants to escape the sleepy suburbs where she spent her youth. She wants out. Through a mixture of design and fate, Griff and Melody meet, and their worlds change colour. Griff has spent his life being ridiculed and ostracized. Now he has a playmate. Melody has yearned for a more exciting life, and now, with Griff, has permission to play. Griff the Invisible is a thrilling love story that doesn’t fir the mould, about two people who don’t fit in. Set in a world half real and half imagined, it’s a story about being yourself, when everything around you demands conformity. About finding happiness and finding the person who will let you be who you want to be

“It is a super hero movie and it is a comedy, but at its core it’s a simple love story about two very unique individuals finding each other and giving the other the strength to be what they want to be,” said director Leon Ford from set.

This marks Ford’s first feature as director, after a string of acclaimed short films and years as an actor – recently in HBO’s long-awaited massive TV series The Pacific.

Griff is one of several genre movies currently being shot Down Under, along with The Reef, Road Train and Summer Coda.

Whle Australian productions aren’t new, Griff is possibly the first Australian superhero movie since Alan Arkin and Christopher Lee faced off in the superhero musical spoof The Return of Captain Invincible.

The film also stars awesome local actors Heather Mitchell, Toby Schmitz, Anthony Phelan and David Webb and is produced by Nicole O’Donohue, who previously produced a range of short films including Nash Edgerton’s Spider.
