"Gracie Otto’s latest 10-minute short Desert Dash, which she produced, wrote, directed and starred in, is one of the highlights of Flickerfest, an Australian Academy-accredited and BAFTA-recognised short film festival. With sweeping aerial shots, hyper-saturated landscapes, and a post-apocalyptic retro-futurism vibe, Desert Dash has a Mad Max-esque feel. Otto plays Georgie who is trapped in a video game, in a empty, slightly creepy world, where opals are currency. " Melanie Kembrey SMH
