The Australian feature film, written by Joel Edgerton, has begun filming in Sydney
Golapost Pictures Australia producers Rosemary Blight and Kylie Du Fresne have won the FILM PRODUCED BY A WOMAN category of the US based WIN Awards, for THE SAPPHIRES.
Australian cinemagoers have switched off Australian films and new approaches are needed to win them back, according to some producers, directors, actors and other industry players.
This may turn out to be a premature and fanciful call but 2014 is shaping as potentially one of the strongest years for Australian films, commercially and critically, in recent memory.
The "children overboard" controversy of 2001 will be re-enacted in the film Dark Victory, which Matthew Saville will direct for Goalpost Pictures.
Matt Saville's thriller Felony, which stars Joel Edgerton, Tom Wilkinson, Jai Courtney and Melissa George, will get a cinema release in the US via a new distributor.
The film has been written by Joel Edgerton, who is also attached to take a leading role.
Matt Saville's Felony is the latest Australian film to test the rapidly evolving US distribution model of theatrical and VoD release.
