Elvis editing duo Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond are celebrating a double triumph after backing up their Ellie Award for Best Editing in a Feature Drama on Saturday with the AACTA Award for Best Editing in Film on Monday.
It seems AACTA voters couldn't help falling in love with the craft behind Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis', with the film picking up seven out of a possible 10 gongs at the Industry Awards - including a history-making cinematography win for Mandy Walker.
Martin Wilson's 'Pieces' has punched well above its weight in the WA Screen Culture Award (WASCA) nominations, securing 11 nods across eight categories.
AACTA has announced the nominees for its technical craft awards, with Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis' leading the charge in film, nominated in all nine categories, while 'Mystery Road: Origin' is ahead in television with six nods.
Bentley Dean was invited to dig deep into the psyche of his subject, West Australian ‘slab wave’ surfer Kerby Brown, in filming 'Facing Monsters'.
Fourteen documentary projects - spanning a feature film about Shane Warne, a VR project that traverses the historical expedition of Ernest Shackleton, to a short about Australia's femme and butch scene in the 1950s - will share in $2.1 million of production funding from Screen Australia.
