Goalpoast Pictures Australia is celebrating cinematography awards to Mark Wareham and Kim Batterham across three of the company’s feature film and television projects – Elise, Eternity Man and Scorched.
Kim Batterham won a Gold Award at the NSW Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) Awards for his work on the feature film Elise. Elise, starring Natalie Imbruglia and written and directed by James Bogle, is to be released in cinemas nationally in 2009. Goalpost’s Ben Grant is Producer and Rosemary Blight shares Executive Producer credits with Tristan Whalley and Nicki Parfitt.
The Queensland Branch of the ACS presented the Gold Cinematography award for Telemovie and Mini Series to Mark Wareham for Scorched, which screened recently on the Nine Network to an audience of more than a million Australians. Scorched was produced by Goalpost’s Kylie du Fresne, with Ellenor Cox from Firelight Productions.
The filmed opera Eternity Man, also shot by Mark Wareham, won Gold in the Dramatised Documentary category of the Queensland ACS Awards as well the Judges Award for Best Work of Night and was praised for its high Production standards. Eternity Man screens on ABC TV in January. Eternity Man was produced by Rosemary Blight for Goalpost Pictures Australia, and John Wyver, and directed by Julien Temple.
Kim Batterham, for Elise, and Mark Wareham for Scorched are now in the running for the National ACS Awards held in May 2009.
“As a company, we are extremely proud of Elise, Scorched and Eternity Man. Kim Batterham and Mark Wareham are both exceptional cinematographers and their work has contributed enormously to the quality of these films. We wish them well at the National ACS Awards,” said Goalpost Pictures Australia Principal Partner Rosemary Blight.
