Episode #128 | Teresa Palmer & Marcelle Lunam
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026

Welcome to the latest episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast. In this episode I’m joined by actor Teresa Palmer, and director Marcelle Lunam to discuss their new rom-com, Addition. Addition follows Grace, played by Palmer, a woman who counts everything because numbers hold her world together. But when a chance encounter with Seamus, played by Joe Dempsie, turns her world upside down, her meticulously ordered life starts to unravel. Having appeared in numerous films and TV shows since the early 2000’s Teresa Palmer really needs no introduction. But if you’re unfamiliar with her work, she has appeared in films such as 2:37, Kieran Darcy-Smith’s Wish You Were Here, Warm Bodies opposite Nicholas Hoult, Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge, and Rachel Griffith’s Ride Like a Girl in which she playa Melbourne Cup-winning jockey, Michelle Payne. Teresa’s TV credits include The Family Next Door, The Clearing and Mixtape. Addition is the first narrative feature film for Marcelle Lunam having previously directed the documentary Habana (Abana) Shakes, and the music video Justine Clarke: I Like to Shake. Marcelle’s work here is quite impressive for a first timer. Anyway… enjoy.
