Now an 18-year-old film-maker from Newtown has laid bare Tinsel Town's shameless profligacy by making his own version of The Matrix - which was rumoured to have cost more than $100 million - for $2,500(AUS)!
Besides writing and directing, he took on the role of Agent Smith, the character played by Hugo Weaving in the original.
The role of "Neo", played by Michael Falzon in a manner reminiscent of Keanu Reeves's character "Ted" from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure earned a Best Actor Award at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival[1] Not content with paying homage to The Matrix, Forsythe aimed to enhance the original plot as well.
