The Wog Boy

It’s the film that stole the hearts of countless Aussies. Of course I’m talking about the unprecedented classic, Wog Boy. Created by the leading actor, co-writer and co-producer Nick Giannopoulos, co-writer Chris Anastassiades and director Aleksi Vellis. This is an ethnic comedy at its outright best!
