Aussie Indie Drama Streamline Starring Jason Issacs Gets UK Release

Hello to Jason Issacs as 101 Films announce they are set to release Tyson Wade Johnston‘s impressive directorial feature debut Streamline in the UK next month.

An emotionally rich coming-of-age-film, gritty and gripping feature is produced by Australian swimming legend Ian Thorpe. Starring along side Harry Potter star Issacs, the film is lead by Levi Miller, Robert Morgan, Laura Gordan, Sam Parsonson and Jake Ryan.

The drama sees gifted swimmer Benjamin (Miller) contend with trauma and toxic masculinity – can he stay in his lane? Does he want this life is and is he being forced to take this direction?

There is no UK Trailer, however 101 Films have sent us the original Australian Trailer…

15-year-old Benjamin Lane (Levi Miller – Pan, A Wrinkle in Time) is an introverted and gifted young swimmer, on the brink of qualifying for the Olympics. Pushed by his ruthless coach, Glen (Robert Morgan – Hacksaw Ridge) and his sacrificial mother, Kim (Laura Gordon – Undertow), it’s unclear if he actually wants the life he’s seemingly being forced to pursue.

When his enigmatic and estranged father (Jason Isaacs) is released from prison and tries to repair their damaged relationship, Benjamin struggles under the physical and psychological pressure and begins to self-destruct. Drawn into the debauched lifestyle of his two older brothers, Dave (Jake Ryan – The Great Gatsby, Home & Away), and Nick (Sam Parsonson – Hacksaw Ridge, Love My Way), Benjamin is pushed to the limits as he’s forced to grapple with deep-seated childhood trauma while navigating the toxic masculinity of the flawed, angry, and broken men around him. Can he escape his troubled past and choose the right lane for himself?

What ensues is a compelling, gritty, and immersive tale of young man struggling to define who he is in a male-orientated world of conflict, anguish, pressure, and competition.

Boasting beautiful cinematography as well as a masterful and moving performance from Levi Miller, Streamline is a powerful and pertinent sports-drama like no other.

Streamline will be released by 101 Films in the UK and Ireland from 11th April, on all Digital Platforms.
