ONE HOT FEST – BIFF is a special mini-series from One Heat Minute Productions. Host Blake Howard takes you inside the Brisbane International Film Festival — from filmmaker interviews and festival dispatches to reviews and discussions with guests and critics — relaying the energy, stories, and chaos that, in its heyday, made it one of Australia's unmissable film events.

Synopsis:

After wildfires take his ranch, a cowboy named Dusty winds up in a FEMA camp, finding community with others who lost homes, including his daughter and ex-wife.
