Three Blind Mice is a 2008 feature film written, directed by and starring Matthew Newton, alongside Ewen Leslie and Toby Schmitz. It premiered at Sydney Film Festival in 2008. To date it has screened at over fourteen international and Australian festivals.

Production

Three Blind Mice was filmed in a 'Guerilla' style; on location without proper permits and in locations in Sydney that are not often seen on screen.

The film relied solely on independent funding, while Screen Australia contributed funds for the film to be transferred to 35mm print.

Cast and crew from the film was largely made up of friends of Newton's. Gracie Otto who was a lead support in the film also edited.

It has been noted in several reviews that the film was inspired by John Cassavetes, and thus many scenes were improvised around the screenplay.

Newton has stated that he intended to make a multi-narrative film, so that every character could treat the film as though they were the lead, rather than rely on a sole protagonist.
