In a David and Goliath battle, the screenplays for Ben Young’s debut feature Hounds of Love and Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge will compete for the original feature film prize at this year’s AWGIE Awards.
Explorations of evil and entrapment took top honours at Thursday's AWGIE Awards, with Colin Cairnes and Cameron Cairnes' 'Late Night with the Devil' and Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel' winning the original and adapted feature prizes, respectively.
Just two features are in contention for this year’s Australian Writers’ Guild AWGIE Award for Best Original Film: 'Brothers' Nest' from Jaime Browne, and 'Sweet Country' from Steven McGregor and David Tranter.
Steven McGregor and David Tranter's 'Sweet Country' was named best feature film original screenplay while Yolanda Ramke's 'Cargo' was deemed best feature film adaptation at the Australian Writers’ Guild’s annual AWGIE Awards on Thursday night.
