Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the MIFF Premiere Fund will present six world premieres at the 66th Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF), including Greg McLean's survival thriller 'Jungle'.
'Picture Wheel' is the latest project from Five Lip films, made up of drama school grads Russell, David O'Donnell, Ande Cunningham, James Elliot and Sarah-Jane McAllan.
The film, written by David O'Donnell, will tell the story of an ex-con trying to get his life together who is reluctantly drawn into a dangerous world by his pro-surfer brother.
The first image from the film, which just finished shooting in Adelaide, has been released.
Two NIDA graduates and close friends are joining forces to create a new collective partnership, Rockpool Films.
Entering the final week of shooting crime thriller Cut Snake, Alex Russell is tired and emotionally drained but happy to be working with Sullivan Stapleton, Jessica De Gouw and director Tony Ayres.
Principal photography began yesterday on Matchbox Pictures' new Australian feature film Cut Snake - a tense, psychologically-driven crime thriller in which one man discovers his biggest enemy to putting the past behind him is himself.
Alex Russell will join Jack O'Connell and Domhnall Gleeson in Unbroken, the Angelina-Jolie directed movie which starts shooting in Sydney on October 21.
