New US trailer for Australian movie 'Ocean Boy' starring Luke Hemsworth

"Thank you for being my father." "Thank you for being my son." Gravitas has revealed an official US trailer for an Australian coming-of-age drama titled Ocean Boy, which is the US title rather generic of this film. The original Australian title is Bosch & Rockit, which is the name of the two children the film is about - and it's a better fit than something as bland as "Ocean Boy". Inspired by true events, the film is moving, provocative and laced with laconic Australian humour, a compelling story about the light and shadow of life, reflecting strength and vulnerability. At the end of the summer along the coast, Bosch, a young father goes on the run for drug trafficking with his gang of surfers. In tow is his son, Rockit, who believes he is on a magical vacation. Shot in iconic Byron Bay, against the backdrop of Australia's famous east coast surf beaches and rainforests, Ocean Boy is a raw, unapologetic exploration of unconscious parenting and deeper themes of love. Starring Luke Hemsworth, Isabel Lucas, Leanna Walsman and Ramsus King as Rockit. Looks like it could be awesome.

Here is the official trailer (+ poster) for Ocean Boy by Tyler Atkins, straight from Gravitas YouTube:

Set in the late 1980s, Ocean Boy is told through the eyes of a 13-year-old boy, Rockit (played by newcomer Rasmus King). As he struggles to figure out why his mother isn't coming home anymore, Rockit embarks on a magical vacation with his father, Bosch, only to find they're on the run from the law. Rockit finds a soul mate and then teenage love with Ash Ash, but it's the ocean that gives him the security and calm he expects from his parents. Ultimately, Rockit is a boy by nature, a young man who wins our hearts and our respect as his story unfolds. Ocean Boy, too known as Bosch & Rockit, is directed by Australian filmmaker Tyler Atkins, who is making his directorial debut after a few other shorts before. The screenplay is written by Tyler Atkins and Drue Metz, from a story by Tyler Atkins. It is produced by Jamie Arscott, Tyler Atkins, Cathy Flannery and John Schwarz. This first opened in Australia in August last year. Gravitas will debut Ocean Boy in select US theaters + on VOD starting February 3, 2023.
