After making her name in America with the action blockbuster Transformers, Rachael Taylor has returned home for a gritty, low-budget Australian film debut.

“I had to take the long way round,” said the 24-year-old actress on the eve of Cedar Boys’ sold-out world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, which kicks off at the State Theatre tonight.

Co-starring Les Chantery and Martin Henderson, and told from the perspective of three Lebanese-Australian youths, the film goes on an adrenaline-charged ride from Lakemba to Kings Cross.

“It’s about outsiders looking in,” Taylor said.

Having moved to Sydney from Tasmania when she was just 16, the actress said she could relate to her character in the film.

“Sydney is such a fabulous, city. But if you feel as though you are slightly on the fringe - of wealth or success - it can be quite tough,” she said.

Yesterday she let slip her next film was also likely to be an Australian production.
