Q&A with The Second stars Rachael Blake and Susie Porter, and Jade of Death director and producer Erin Good and Taylor Litton-Strain.

The Second is a sexy thriller boasting strong female characters and an impressive ensemble cast including Rachael Blake (Lantana), Susie Porter (Wentworth) and Vince Colosimo (Chopper). Director Mairi Cameron’s stunning debut centres around the successful author of an erotic autobiography, played by Blake. But the façade of her seemingly-perfect life crumbles when a weekend in the country with her publisher boyfriend takes a dangerous turn. The surprise appearance of a childhood friend (Porter) forces the unnamed writer to confront her dark past – and its story of secrets, lies and betrayal.

A Stan Original film, The Second premiered at the Sydney Film Festival and was nominated for a prestigious AACTA Award. It marks the introduction of Mairi Cameron as a major new talent in the Australian cinema landscape.
