Name that Australian film...

I saw an Australian film a few years back. It was filmed in Perth, set over the course of a single night (I believe) and followed a few different people, going back and forth in time over the night to show how their stories intermingled.

The central location was a late night takeaway pizza place on a somewhat isolated block of land where one or more of the characters worked.

A plot point I remember was a guy hiding in a large waste bin because someone had shot at him. I remember very little else about the film except that I liked it!

The film was either made in the late 90's or early 2000's I am guessing. Googling has not helped me!

True Love and Chaos? I remember something about pizza, but I only saw half the film.

Oh and I kept coming across an Australian movie called Fat Pizza, but have no idea what it's about.

Oh yes, it's definitely not Fat Pizza. Neither is it True Love and Chaos, which I want to see now.

Try the Oz Film Database?

It will not be fat pizza - that's a rather acquired taste in aussie wog comedy, based on the SBS TV show.

Was it City Loop?

I haven't seen it, so i am not sure if it contains the scene where someone was shot. IMDB also says it was filmed/set in Queensland. But the plot sounds very similar.

Ding! You win, TheOtherGuy. I don't know why I thought it was filmed in Perth!
