Cast: Patrick James, Indigo Felton, Francis Mossman

The Horizon is an honest look at the lives of urban Sydney gay/queer & alternative characters as they navigate their way through love, sexual politics and health issues in the post-AIDS crisis era.

Hard edged and tender, or both at once, The Horizon differs from other series in its heartfelt and humorous portrayal of engaging characters, and its contemporary storytelling.

The global western community is the first to live through the two-pronged reality of HIV today – on one hand, we're encouraged to protect ourselves from catching the virus; on the other, we're reassured that HIV is a highly manageable condition, with counselling and support offered to those who have caught it.

The Horizon explores what it means to live with these dual messages without focussing predominantly on HIV issues. The characters embody a range of attitudes that explore and define modern gay Sydney's culture and subculture.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
