Morning Habits

Lewis Troy is a hack blogger whose second book has struck a chord within modern hustle culture, despite the fact that his own habits couldn’t be further from what he preaches. From a guest appearance on World Class Wisdom, a popular “bro” podcast hosted by Taj Roland, to his first stage appearance, success is knocking. But what Lewis really wants - to connect with his daughter - remains elusive. He fills the void with online dating and we witness the slow motion car crash that is his encounter with Sally, a sharp young, city professional.
Morning Habits is a dark comedy, framed by the beauty of Melbourne from corporate and heritage architecture to our lush city parks.
