During the 2016 Aussie Millions, PokerNews had the opportunity to check out a short film called Lady Luck by 31-year-old Australian filmmaker Ren Thackham.
The 18-minute film is a fantasy trip mirroring the moves of a player playing in an underground poker game. Think Alice in Wonderland meets poker. For instance, when a player is dealt pocket kings, a real pair of cowboys — provided by Grahame Ware Jr., the Horse Master of Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean – show up on screen, while Lady Luck herself is a smoking hot embodiment of the allure of the thrill.
