This year's Sydney Film Festival will spotlight a strong showing of debut features from Australian filmmakers.
Zoe Pepper and Charles Williams' debut features will screen at this year’s Tribeca Festival, with 'Birthright' and 'Inside' included in the line-up overnight.
Travis Jeffery, Maria Angelico, Linda Cropper and Michael Hurst have come together under one roof for Zoe Pepper's debut feature 'Birthright', which has begun filming in the Perth Hills.
Screenwest’s West Coast Visions funding, which backs debut feature directors from WA, has proven to be one of the country’s most effective talent escalators. From this year onward, Screen Australia will commit an extra $500,000 to the initiative annually. IF talks to recent recipients, the teams behind 'He Ain't Heavy', now in post, and 'Birthright', now fully financed and set to enter production later this year.
Writer-director Zoe Pepper is $750,000 closer to making her debut feature, black comedy 'Birthright', after receiving Screenwest's West Coast Visions funding.
