For Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling, the May 17 launch in Australian cinemas of their debut feature Cargo followed by worldwide release on Netflix will be the culmination of a five-year journey.
Screen Australia has announced more than $600,000 of story development funding for seven feature films, four television dramas and five online series.
Universal Pictures has won a bidding war for a sci--fi comedy from writer-director Abe Forsythe and Made Up Stories which will star Lupita Nyong’o -- the creative team behind Little Monsters.
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o shines bright as a ukulele-playing, zombie-slaying kindergarten teacher in Abe Forsythe’s sweetly hilarious zom-com 'Little Monsters'.
'Little Monsters' follows Dave (Alexander England), a washed-up musician who volunteers to chaperone his nephew’s kindergarten class field trip after taking a serious liking to the fearless schoolteacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong’o).
When Abe Forsythe made 'Little Monsters', he intended the film to be screened in cinemas, reaching a far wider audience than his black comedy 'Down Under'. That’s not how it turned out, much to the disappointment of the writer-director.
Abe Forsythe was six when Paul Verhoeven's 'RoboCop', which starred Peter Weller as a terminally ill cop turned powerful cyborg, opened in cinemas in 1987.
Writer-director Abe Forsythe has re-teamed with Made Up Stories to produce his next project, Stan and Peacock series 'Wolf Like Me', to star Isla Fisher and Josh Gad.
