One of the richest Australian film festivals and home of the only Australian film Scholarship prize, The Commonwealth Bank Reel Deal Short Film Festival, gave away over $20,000 in cash and prizes at the gala awards ceremony on Saturday August 2.
For a first-up effort, the horror/comedy Wyrmwood looks like being a powerful catalyst for the careers of brothers Kiah Roache-Turner and Tristan Roache-Turner.
Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead was the most downloaded film globally last weekend, according to one torrent site, after being launched in the US on iTunes on Friday.
Abe Forsythe’s zombie film 'Little Monsters', French-Australian co-production 'Slam' and an as yet untitled film from the Roache-Turner brothers are among 12 productions recently backed by Create NSW.
Monica Bellucci is set to star in sci-fi horror 'Nekromancer', the latest film from brothers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner ('Wyrmwood').
Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner’s sci-fi action-comedy Nekrotronic (formerly Nekromancer) will have its world premiere in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Shelly Lauman’s Birdie and Charles Williams’ All These Creatures will have their international and North American premieres respectively in the Short Cuts competition of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner’s sci-fi horror-comedy 'Nekrotronic' seems to have nearly as many detractors as ardent admirers, judging by the reviews at TIFF.
