Private Project

22. Song of Songs

Father Mackenzie is on his ‘last chance’ as a local priest. Ruled by a belligerent and overbearing clerical board his every move is monitored criticised and micromanaged. His phone is hacked in the opening scenes leading to a series of comedic errors including the sms broadcast of a private biblical (yet raunchy and racy) depiction of the Bible book of “Song of Songs” (“SOS”). His parishioners love it, but it nearly gets him sacked…SOS however leads to the awakening of a love interest with a parish member, an administrator named Sharon….and once their eyes have been opened there is no turning back…no matter the cost! Intermix this with Sharon’s rebellious 15 year old sister who thinks she knows what love is all about and gets in way too deep and you have a romantic comedy that pokes at your heart and asks “what would you choose?” Religion, stability, tradition? or Love, life, truth?

Anthony MacDermott is a classically trained jazz pianist and plays piano in a number of jazz bands. Ultimately, his passion is composing and recording music of all styles and genres. Anthony has a special affinity with endeavouring toward the “crossroads” where the music takes over and leads both the player and the listener in new and unexpected directions. Anthony teaches jazz at his local primary school on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and he believes strongly in the importance of the learning and appreciation of music in the growth and development of children. Anthony also recognises the role music plays and has played across and between modern and historical cultures. He especially loves musically exploring, connecting and juxtaposing those cultures. By day Anthony is the principal of his own law firm also based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
