Love of My Life is a 2013 Australian horror/thriller directed and produced by Michael Budd in his directorial debut.[1] The film stars Budd, Peter O'Brien, Diarmid Heidenreich and Bel Delia.
The film follows Julius, a man who mysteriously wakes up strapped to a hospital bed and is given the choice by what seems to be a deranged surgeon to either survive 5 days of torture, or say "I quit" and have the love of his life killed. The film follows Julius's fight for survival and the early stages of his relationship through a series of flash backs. The flashbacks then start becoming more intense and filter into his real world.
The film was shot completely in Sydney, Bathurst and Orange, NSW, Australia.[2]
The film had its premiere screening at the 2013 Mt. Hood Independent Film Festival. The film went on to win Best Horror/Thriller at the festival.[3] The film has also been set for a February 2014 Video on Demand release with Gravitas Ventures.[4]
