- A young boy accidentally shoots a stranger.
WELCOME TO IRON KNOB is used with permission from Dave Wade. Learn more at bluebirdproductions.com.au.
Iron Knob is a sleepy little town in South Australia where nothing much happens. But then two boys playing outside one day accidentally shoot a stranger with one of their father's guns.
They enlist their older sister and an aunt to help clean up the mess and salvage the situation, but as they try to address the situation, the town reveals itself to be odder than thought. The father is still grieving his wife, who has passed away, and everyone else is too preoccupied with their own affairs and schemes to care much.
But thanks to the persistence of the sister, the town is shaken up, especially the grief-struck father, whose action finally jolts the funny little town forward to come together in an equally eccentric way.
Writer-director Dave Wade's dry, deadpan short comedy is a collective portrait of small-town life, where mores and manners don't change, no matter what happens.
Its sense of humor comes not from gags, quips or antics, but from a mastery of sustained tone and wry observation. When the boys shoot the stranger -- who ends up to be in a lot of trouble himself -- it shakes this little town up, rattling loose a long-dormant eccentricity.
The writing takes a keen pleasure in observing the ways this small community deals with the event, and much of the humor is found is how nonchalantly Iron Knob's denizens greet the small spark of accidental violence in the midst. Its rhythms and pacing are as ambling and measured as a lizard sitting in the sun, and even when someone is shot and their life threatened, nothing will budge the town citizens from their routine and small affairs.
The collective portrait of the town that emerges as more and more Iron Knob denizens find out about the shooting is one almost of atrophy, as if addled from too much time in the sun. As fitting to a town in the middle of nowhere, the film has sun-soaked cinematography and a beautiful sense of naturalism and uses these visual tools to create a strong sense of place that adds to the richness of the story.
WELCOME TO IRON KNOB is much like the town that it evokes: distinctly Australian, offbeat, yet with its own peculiar charm. Viewers will enter a world that saunters along to its own internal rhythms, but it pays off in an ending that is satirically heartwarming and yet still strangely sweet. It's both a paean and a send-up to small towns, and how they can insulate its inhabitants from the rough currents of life -- for better or worse.

Seems like this wasn’t the first time this town had to cover up a murder. Everyone was so calm and collected with the murder
Yea it's pretty regular here in Australia to shoot a stranger
KillerKinkstar wot
I was thinking the same thing. I'll avoid that place if I ever visit Australia.😂😇😂
@@ThtSunbreaker I'm from Chicago, us too
Nah just aussies being aussies - laid back, chill, practical
Everyone in the comments outraged about how a whole town could keep a secret like this obviously hasn't been to a small town in a while. Those people eat secrets for breakfast.
That whole, "small towns eat secrets for breakfast" thing sounds like a silly Russian trope. 😂
True
You got any examples of this?
Yes we do... Foyil Oklahoma
@@bobfty2680 a town called lostwithial in the uk that place can keep a secret or 2
Considering this is Australia all their reactions are pretty accurate
@@solarneptune7342 yes is it, mabye not if your a city rat
Yeah, this is very small town New Zealand as well. I just went to my Uncle's funeral in a town of 150 people, where he was also the local gravedigger. We had to dig our own grave, job hadn't been filled yet.
We can't have 357 magnums even with a license
Yup 😊 Well, for outback Australia anyway
This is why Australians gave up their guns.
I love how this family is just all chill even tho they just killed someone
Yeah when people like this would publicly hang and burn black the would take pictures with they kids just sick
I'm just so bothered with the flies.
Flies? were they bad or something? Unless they're crawling up your nose every few minutes, it ain't Australia.
Jessica De Guzman IKRRRRR
IKR they are nasty
I hate flies
Me too
“Goodday Jill”
“Ello!”
“What’ve you got here?”
“Oh, my boy just shot another man”
“Another? Aw, that lil rascal, him.”
why tf are they so calm
Second one
666th like
"And it was with his dads work gun"
"Oh look, a dead body. Whatever."
Well kids you heard it here: murder brings everyone togheter
Let me find some missing person to kill
Lol
Me kills a karon and nothing of value was ever lost
@@michaelmyres5653 lol
I read this before watching it and scoffed at the oversimplification.
Then i watched it and my god are you spot on!!
“Is he also dead?” “I reckon. What should we do” kid in the back: HIT HIM WITH A STICK
Lol
I felt a little bit bad for laughing at that part😆
“Child shoots random guy”
Town: well lads we have ourselves another one.
Oooof
Never lived in one ay?
Well its australia..
Use * [doing something]* instead of "[doing something]" because "[thing]" is for a quote and * [thing]* is for a task or something like that...
Edit: i forgot * on each side of a word make it big and dont just stay like that
DragonKidTheGod kids don’t play with guns well😔 cause my cousin was well sorta playing with a gun then he accidentally shot him I was told what happend soo uea
Kid: *shoots some random guy*
Everyone else: oh you shot him, that’s a thing
Kid: I used the .38
Everyone else: DaD’s WoRk GuN??!
ok
BlackSkull83 ok
ok
IKR I was thinking about this the whole time i was watching this
ok
Old lady: everything alright. Old man: yeah bonnie went and shot himself one of those missing brothers
Old guy: He killed one of those brothers that were missing
Old woman: That silly boy
"Hit him with a stick!"... always good advice.
Harder than that! Give 'im a whack!
Occham Razor 🤣😂😅
always cavemen at heart
He’s in cardiac arrest!
* violently hits man with stick*
"Is he... dead?"
"Reckon he might be"
(In the background) "hit 'im with a stick!"
I thought I was the only one who heard that
I heard it too 😂
Solution to everything
When does it say that?
@@tylerdavies9865 5:40
The whole time I was thinking about why they were playing with actual guns
I thought one of the kids were gonna shoot the other
Ikr
That's what americans do, don't they ?
@@redneck_3383 fr same.
@@Bertrand146 Yeah
10:15 "There's no doubt she's got a lovely heart, Pete. But so do artichokes, no? And they're as prickly and bitter on the outside as she is."
Dude, is no one gonna talk about why are these kids allowed playing with REAL GUNS?
Its a story. Kids raised around guns know how to hold guns, not to run holding them, where to point them...This is not real the actor has never held a gun before. City kids with glocks shoot people
After WW2 many American kids in rural area's would play "War" with real firearms/gear that their Fathers brought back from WW2. (Unloaded of course).
It's Australia mate
Isn't obvious???
I do but I don't "play" with them.
Should have loved a full film or Netflix show on this town based on this concept
Western noir Bad Day at Black Rock and Hitchcock's dark comedy The Trouble With Harry share similar themes. Coincidentally both were made in 1955.
Ye man
Same
Ikr
This deserves better than Netflix you dingledong
I like how they just stand over the body having a casual conversation
I love how the old couple didn’t care about the murder 😅😂😭😭
You... love it?...
this is the most natural acting i've seen in a while
I played Barney the young boy when I was 10. Thank you heaps.
Hamish Phillips you sure mate?
This was just made this year
HARDKICK No it wasn’t dude. It was made in 2012. I know because I was 10
Are you being sarcastic
@@reefy5316 he is in the credits.
16:47. This guy using a metal detector in a graveyard is somehow the most disturbing thing in this whole video.
Brian Shissler disturbing, yes, but then he was the town religious leader.
Meh. Metal detectors are only good a few inches down. He's not picking up any "gold tooth" signals. The only stuff he'll find is what was dropped by the living. It disturbed me too but for a different reason. He didn't know how to use it. You have to swing slow, level and close to the ground. Obvious noob. Not a detectorist. Source? Me, 30 years swinging a coil.
Idk man after that real sad scene that toilet seat quote was pretty disturbing.
@@huskykid0295 I know right 😨😰😨
I LOVE how wholesome that ending was. Such an emotional twist, honestly. I'm happy for their father.
No one: *girl falling in love with a guy who trying to dig a hole for a dead man while she is chilling on a car with a flower*
@gunners army collector but what's weird in it😅 Or am I also of that kind!!!
That was so classsy!!!
This feels like more of a comedy than anything if I’m frank with myself.
That's because it's a comedy
@@pluto3194 ohh I see now I get it or it would've been seriously messed up!
Lol I was just about to comment that it’s a comedy lol
And what if you're not Frank with yourself?
Just like a Russian
Why is no one talking about the acting and editing!!! The comedic timing was perfect and every actor - right down to those boys - had such quality performances
Thanks heaps.
@@hamishphillips950 dude you’re literally awesome
I'll second that. Everything about this short is great. I knew going in that I hated the premise: imagine being shot and nobody really cares about you, but the short is so wonderfully acted and directed, you can't help but care more for the family/town drama in it.
@@jorislemoine1488 Probably helped that the guy they shot was himself a murderer trying to get his brother's share of things
And the sister sure is pretty .
Most kids when someone dies: AAAAAAAAAAA
These chads: *POKE*
Lol it really is like that when you in a farm. I grew up there.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@webmasale So how many people did you shoot for no reason and then poke with a stick? xD
The adults don’t even care when there kids just killed a man
But he used his dads WoRk GuN
U right
@Cole Wallner so you just learned the differences, and are putting them to use! Great job Cole.
pretty sure it was just bad acting
Sorry, but them kicking the dirt on the dead guy made me laugh out loud 😂
AW-STRY-LIAN humour , you just can't beat it !
~ this was hilarious
Oof
I think around the 19th century that was actually respectful doing that to a dead person, sooo I think it’s good? Idk 😅
InfernoPlayzzz lol I think so too
Lol
Can't believe he used Bill's work gun, god damnit.
*dammit
Damn
Dammit
Damming
Yeah right
Ok@@audreymai2773
@frostbitex4259 I know right
“I dunno, but something about funerals make me sad.” Excuse me
Love how the sister handles everything in this one
This is an accurate representation of how laid back and nonchalant rural Australians are
It Really Reminds me of Rural America Too!!! Especially in the Appalachian Mountains!
What kind of horrible People are they and it is I DIO Who is asking .
As an aussie i agree
@@lorddio2737 Nobody really cares about your JoJo Role-play.
ok, but why are they so calm-
It's what makes the film absolutely hilarious
exactly..not reaction you have if you shoot someone.
Cause they're aussies mate
1. They're Aussies,
2. Its a small town, they have many secrets
3. Its funny
Raquel F. It’s meant to be funny because they’re all calm-
“Yeah he’s dead”
“What gun did you use lol”
they didn't seem concerned at all, none of them. they were all so calm like "he's dead ok..meh" they ended his life.
In case anyone missed it 20.32 after the credits has the final piece of the story......
Haha thanks. I did miss that. Now i have closure.
Thanks that was pretty funny i was about to click out
20:32
Thanks, I was actually down reading the comments when I heard the music stop. I had to go back up to find out what happened. Lol
Thanks🤣
We really gotta respect these kids for not flinching at all with all those damn bugs on their faces 👏🏾🌚
I played the young boy that shot the man and it was truly hell
Hamish Phillips did you now?-
@@hamishphillips950 Prove it
Cman How do you expect me to prove it?
Hamish Phillips IT IS YOU
no one:
Australians: oh we don't need to mind he killed a man not much
lol I live in Australia and your right
@@MICRO_PENIS69 same
Well now there are no guns anymore
@@deathrow5261 There are over 4 million legally-held firearms in Australia.
@@michaelspears7116 true true
This was insanely weird. I'm just amazed at the production and acting skills
He was a pretty good shot though...
Yes, yes I was
Hamish Phillips bum bum bummm
@@hamishphillips950 ok stop the lies
Lol he was ok. He just grazed the guy, he is pretty good for his age tho
@@ishowlight8044 he’s not lying, he’s in the literal credits mate
17:00 LOL
Russian woman: Don't mix your tears with the lumps in your milk.
Hippie: (moment of life revelation)
Man gets murdered:
Town: HEY LETS HAVE A PARTY
"Mom, dad, I killed a man."
"Dammit Billy, not again ! No dessert for a week
I love how the townspeople are more concerned they used their dad's work gun then the person that was shot
It's when you notice the small things, like the rattling of the rifle in the boys hands that makes it seem foreign, and makes him seem even smaller, that you appreciate the film even further.
I love how they are more concerned that the kid used his dad's 38. Instead of the body
Town knows a kid killed a used to be missing person:
Town knows he used his dads gun: *le gasp* 🤭
BIG RESPECT to the actors (especially the 2 boys) flies must have been hell, especially in the first scene. At 1:53 flies are in their mouths, eyes. Crazy! These champs pushed right through. Total pros!
Flies are just part of Australia daily life - 'aussie' salute is automatic waving them away from face
True, Props To Them
I played Barney, thank you for the compliment
Lol. Daily life 🤷♀️
Lol it's literally every single day problem it was acting but it was so natural go to any small town event and you will see every single one of these characters. And there's always the stories of bad people being thrown down the mineshafts it's a bush grave really haha
“I said I was sorry!” 😂😂
💀😂😂
Whole town: "Eh, here we go again"
"There's something about funerals that makes me sad,"
"You silly Bugga,"
I can’t tell if I’m annoyed about the Aussie stereotypes, or happy that they nailed being Australian
I mean iron knob is a real town in Australia so they were probably actors from Australia
@Trevor Phillips Industries They are Aussie actors 🤷♀️ And many of those people would have been from the actual town since it was filmed on location. I’m confused that you seem to think they’re just pretending to be Australian 🤔
@Trevor Phillips Industries Well acting is usually pretending to be a character. It’s a lot harder to convincingly pull off an accent, culture & character (although the guy who plays Rick from TWD does it really well). And when they’ve got plenty of Aussie actors, why would they look elsewhere?
@Trevor Phillips Industries Fair enough. They are actually Aussie - like me 😊 🙋♀️
"It's best not to separate twins". Hearts of pure Ozzy gold.
Its Aussie
@Blake Kruger im just saying how its meant to be spelt
@Blake Kruger what are some kind eshay
Guy: Okay Mark, Okay Mark, Yup Yup bye Mark
Lady: Who was that?
Guy: oh that was mark
Why are they all so chill like this has happened before?
It's a comedy. The reason they're so chill is because it's suppose to be one of those small close knit backwards towns where everyone knows each other.
Serial killers in training? What's wrong with those boys?
Oh, they come from Iron Knob. That explains everything.
why am I not surprised South Australia is where all the serial killers and psychos from but there are a few in NSW as well
good ol iron knob, were you could murder anybody you like and easily cover it up in a small town like that by just saying ''I dIDnT KnOW It WaSH leRdEd WiF a Rel BuLLeTSH''
I just love how super chill and nonchalant everyone is. It's honestly one of the draws for this short.
Definitely captures our outback Aussie laidbackness 😊
Kid shoots guy
Everyone else: silly billy... oh well
Yeah they acted like nothing happened lol
"Aight imma just go dispose of a body"
"RIGHTEY O'" 7:15
I really want this to be a series! I love the characters and the quirkyness of the whole town.
See if you can find the movie “The Road to Nhill”. It’s exactly this kind of humour & similar type characters
kid:shoots and kills someone
sister: oh hey hows ur day going
other girl:good hows ur dad?
like damn arent u supposed to sceam and hid ethe body already
That's just how it is in a small town
He didn't kill him though.
Hide* The*
it happns every time i think
@@justsomerandombirdwithinte5896 don't forget our* too
Absolutely loved this!!! I mean, it was about a murder, but at the same time, it was more about helping out a neighbour who is going thru grief and understanding that they might need some space and time to deal. And yes, what the Russian said is true, save your tears for someone good (which unless you are a child is no one), not for the guilty who in this case I believe was a serial murderer
Yeah all the black people that were hung and burned for people like this they took pictures with the bodies and they thought it was ok because of the color of my skin WOW 🤦♀️🤬
I love how casual these people are especially the kids ! When they started kicking dirt on the guys body I lost it .
This was so Australian. It was perfect.
@Pizza • 12 years ago the rifle is a standard hunting rifle, you can practically buy it anywhere in Australia. the 38, Might be a ww2 gun
@Pizza • 12 years ago no no, the 38. Is the revolver gun, used in ww2 too, so if his dad or grandad is a veteran, he could maybe bring it back home
Yes except we don’t let 7 year olds use gun
They don’t do anything 🤣
Me: shot someone?
Sister: silly boy!
I smiled while crying, thank you to all who make these films possible. Our humanity can save us at least I hope so. Thanks omleto and Allen.
Boy: "accidentaly pulls the trigger"
The whole town: Its okay it was an accident :>
And nothing of value was ever lost
Early one morning
With time to kill
I borrowed Jebb's rifle
And sat on a hill
I saw a lone rider
Crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him
To practice my aim
My brother's rifle
Went off in my hand
A shot rang out
Across the land
Andehelf Pwe this video reminded me perfectly of that!
👌
I get the reference, good on ye
Just another reminder. Never play with guns and always treat them like they are loaded.
especially not dad's work gun
yes
Everyone: Talking about a work gun instead of the fricking corpse.
"There's something about funerals that make me so sad." What a great line.
The small town is like a toilet ... It has it's dark and sh*@tty passages but there is the enjoyment of its warmth! 😂🤣 This is dark slapstick comedy murder that had the same formula that made the movie of the 1990s Fargo a hit classic.
It’s weird how they just don’t care they killed someone 😐on the other hand I’d be going crazy😹.
You haven't spent time an a small Aussie town. It wouldn't surprise me at all, lol
As an Australian, I'd say there are a few who'd react like this haha
@@gardenlarder where i used to live there would be gun shots and screaming outside my house while i was trying to sleep Lol
different societies reacts differently. beyond that, they did not know the man, and it was an accident. stranger things have happened...
I love the way that their only concern was that he used his dad's work gun😂😂😂😂
I love how calm they are about the murder lmaooo
Random guy:A kid just shot someone!
The town: Siller bugger!
Mom: JOHNNY DID YOU SHOOT ANOTHER STRANGER
Johnny: yeeeaaaaahhhhh
Mom: YOU KNOW WE CANT DO THAT COVER UP ANYMORE STRANGERS THE BASEMENT IS FULL
Nah, the kids in the basement ate those corpses already
@@thestig2350 XD
Sorry all the people are in my basement.
Years later, the two boys created a RUclips channel called Fairbairn Films.
LOL I was looking for this comment
No cap this should be on Netflix as a series of some sort
mom once told me that living in a small town is like sitting on a toilet seat thats just been used, sure it was its dark and messy history but you can't help but enjoy its warmth. 18:31
man I wish this was a mini series, with several episodes. Just with the whimsical small town talk about dealing with the twins.
i like how they are so calm when a dead man is lying in front of them
I highly recomend sticking with this short story and not bailing early. It is so odd and unique. Well done!
I thought he she put the stick in the whole in his head in stead of him moving
I got a feeling there are a few more bodies out there given how calm they were about it all. And also, how do we know that was the good twin that survived?? The spade that was on the floor next to him makes me question this.
I understand this is acting but there is a few people i know who would react like this...
The fact that the kids just sat there and poked him 🤣
This is hilarious. Netflix needs to adapt this into a full series.
Breaking Bad alternate universe, Todd episode
I applaud whoever made this short film. I fully believe that if you gave this a precursor episode to fully show how down and depressed the whole town was getting, especially the father of the two kids, you could turn this into a full series. The amount you filled out just a few of these characters in only 20 minutes really shows your talent.
I played Barney the young boy and our director and writer was David Wade. He’s a great director and I recommend all his work.
Hamish Phillips is there any way we can find any more of your work? Do you act in any other things?
You: accidentally kills someone
Normal town: OH GOD
Iron Knob: well just another pretty normal day
“YOU JUST KILLED SOMEONE”
“Well I said I was sorry”
I feel like this is one of those shorts you could turn into a horror short by changing the music
The second hit him with the stick got me lol
I love how they are all so calm about this. 😂
I love how they don’t care that a 10 year old kid killed someone
"Hi mum you see I accidentally shot and murdered a-"
"Was it with your Dad's work gun?"
Kid: stick 38 slug in random guys head.
Town: aww man you used your dads work gun.
A murder happens:
The town: well the lads dead lets go cover it up yea
Those kids: i sAiD iM sOrrY
