GRIFF THE INVISIBLE, Australian romantic comedy, opens in Berkeley August 19, 2011

Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse on TV’s “True Blood”) stars in GRIFF THE INVISIBLE, a charming, quirky and totally unpredictable romantic comedy about the superhero in all of us. By day Griff (Kwanten) is a shy and awkward office worker, bullied by his co-workers and living a secluded life, his protective brother Tim (Patrick Brammall) his only friend. By night Griff finds escape from his ordinary life by assuming the identity of a fantastic superhero, roaming the dark streets protecting the innocent and the vulnerable from the dangers that lurk in the shadows. Griff’s secret is jeopardized when he meets Melody (Maeve Dermody), a cute but unconventional daydreamer. She quickly becomes fascinated by his idiosyncrasies, which are equal only to her own. In the face of mounting pressure to live in the “real world,” it’s up to Melody to rescue Griff The Invisible for the sake of herself, Griff and their newfound love for each other. Written and directed by Leon Ford, making his feature debut.
