The @busstopfilms Ball 2026 @iccsyd is more than a celebration of film, it’s where creativity meets inclusivity.

Here’s to a night that reminds us that inclusion doesn’t just change the screen it changes lives. Such a successful night with a lot of money raised. The jacket @oliviaannehargroder wore in the @busstopfilms movie, BossCat reaching a whopping $20,000! Meeting @richardwilkins (many say we look a like) and @danmacpherson was such a highlight. Despite how successful and well-known they are, they were both so genuinely kind, down to earth, and inclusive. And yes… I’m sure many of my friends would be jealous to know that @danmacpherson even shared a dance with me šŸ•ŗ Such a fun and unforgettable night. Styled by @gravityzonemenswear

Now that's an entrance. We're so thrilled Screen Australia chose the amazing Olivia as Sonja in Boss Cat to be the entry image at their pop up office at the Cannes Film Festival in France. We hope all the visitors to the office can feel the amazing Boss Cat energy.
