Last weekend saw a variety of new films open at the box office: Bollywood gangster drama 'Animal', 'Trolls Band Together', two concerts in 'Andre Rieu's White Christmas' and 'Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce', and Japan's Godzilla Minus One. Yet it was 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes', in its third frame, that drew the largest audience, surpassing last weekend's no. 1, 'Napoleon'.
Bonsai Films owner Jonathan Page talks about releasing two Christmas films within a fortnight of each other and why he is leaning more towards documentaries going forward.
Written and directed by Heath Davis, 'Christmess' stars Steve Le Marquand as Chris Flint, a desperate, once famous actor fresh out of rehab who takes a job as a Santa Claus in a suburban strip mall, where he unexpectedly encounters his long-estranged daughter (Nicole Pastor) and infant grandson.
Heath Davis' Campbelltown-shot dramedy Christmess will debut in Texas next month after being announced in the line-up for this year's Austin Film Festival.
Christmas has come early in the Western Sydney suburb of Campbelltown, with production underway on a new feature from Heath Davis set to offer a different take on the holiday season.
For rising actor Nicole Pastor, having agency in place of an agent has proved no barrier in taking the next steps in her career.
