Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling’s debut feature Cargo – dubbed a ‘zombie tearjerker’ – will make its world premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival in October.
While AACTA's Byron Kennedy Award is typically given to an individual or organisation who demonstrates "outstanding creative enterprise", this year the award will go to a film.
Yolanda Ramke was browsing social media when she spotted a tweet from Mike Flanagan, creator/showrunner of Netflix’s 'The Haunting of Hill House', complimenting her and her co-director Ben Howling on 'Cargo'.
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.
Anthony Hayes has been acting since he was nine. While there is no danger of him giving up that stellar career, for the present he is concentrating more on his other passions: writing and directing.
'Cargo' is a post apocalyptic thriller and an emotional story of a father trying to save his child at all costs.
Australians in Film (AiF), the LA-based Australian entertainment industry guild, has announced that the feature film script for Cargo is the winner of the inaugural Gateway LA Script Development Program Prize for 2015.
