Screen Australia's revamped P&A fund is supporting the theatrical release of three Australian films.
Kill Me Three Times, Cut Snake, Charlie's Country and a French-Australian short will screen at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
Sophie Hyde's 52 Tuesdays and Kriv Stenders' Kill Me Three Times launched in the US last week, generating copious publicity and another batch of favourable reviews from US critics.
Launched less than a year ago, Jake Film Finance has put money into two Australian features and has signed letters of intent with a number of producers.
Teresa Palmer, Callan Mulvey, Luke Hemsworth and Bryan Brown have joined the cast of Kill Me Three Times, Kriv Stenders' crime thriller which started shooting in Perth on Monday
Kriv Stenders’ comedy-thriller Kill Me Three Times will be released in the US by Magnolia Pictures, a distributor of niche films including A Long Way Down, Frank, Blackfish and Nymphomaniac.
EOne will test the potential for a limited theatrical launch followed quickly by home entertainment release with Kriv Stenders’ Kill Me Three Times.
Kriv Stenders' Kill Me Three Times may well have had a "boisterously enthusiastic reception" at its Toronto International Film Festival premiere, as The Sydney Morning Herald reported last week.
