Screen Australia, in association with Create NSW and Screenwest, has backed a new animated feature from Flying Bark Productions, the production company behind 'Maya the Bee' and 'Blinky Bill: The Movie'.
The second season of Helium's 'Last King of the Cross' will see the addition of two new members to the Ibrahim family, with Dave Hoey and Alex Kaan joining the cast as Michael and Fadi Ibrahim, respectively.
Young actor Charlotte Maggi will go from riding dirt bikes in the centre of Australia for Brindle Films’ 'MaveriX' to taking up residence in a colony at the edge of the galaxy as part of Zack Snyder's Netflix sci-fi 'Rebel Moon'.
New seasons of children’s series, 'The PM’s Daughter' and 'Little J & Big Cuz' are among the eight projects that will share in $5.5 million of production funding from Screen Australia
Writer-director Fin Edquist’s thriller 'Bad Girl', starring Sara West and Samara Weaving, will get a North American theatrical release after being picked up by The Asylum, the studio behind 'Sharknado' and 'Z Nation'.
Bad Girl, set for its world premiere at MIFF, is a film some 10 years in the making.
Fin Edquist is perhaps best known for animated adventures aimed at children and families - but the screenwriter finds equal satisfaction in creating adult-themed dramas.
While most live-action production has shutdown, an army of more than 250 animators from Flying Bark Productions are working remotely across Sydney and in other states on a TV series and two feature films.
