A petty thief tries to impress her mobster dad by plotting a jewelry heist.

Kim is a small-time scam artist whose talent lies in confidence scams and swindles. Mathew her new partner: a shy and naive wannabe criminal. Together they attempt to break into the seedy underbelly of Melbourne's crime scene. A mix of John Woo style action and a fast-paced comedy Scam is the kind of film not often made in Australia, a funny, subversive, violent, action-comedy about the lives of criminals and cops. Filmed in 2001 over 12 days with a production budget of AUD $5000. Scam was to be the next big micro-budget action movie, until a fire at the editor's house. The film was finally edited in 2020 during Covid lock down.—Cameron McCulloch
