Nelson Woss made a crazy-brave decision when audiences went wild for 'Koko: A Red Dog Story' at three packed test screenings in Indianapolis in September: He wanted Australian cinemagoers to see the third chapter of the Red Dog franchise this year.
Monica Zanetti's screenplay of 'Ellie & Abbie (& Ellie's Dead Aunt)', Ben Lawrence and Beatrix Christian's 'Hearts and Bones' and Ally Burnham's 'Unsound' have been nominated for best original feature in the 53rd annual AWGIE Awards.
'Koko: A Red Dog Story' is the story of the actual dog from 'Red Dog'. Its a heartwarming tale about a regular dog whose innate ability to connect with people saw him becoming local legend, a show dog champion... and finally, a movie star. Koko's rise to superstardom helped other dogs in shelters, and changed the lives of those around him forever.
Alternate content releases 'Koko: A Red Dog Story', 'Standing Up for Sunny' and 'A Boy Called Sailboat' premiered in Australian cinemas last weekend, together with the conventionally-released 'Kairos'.
Americans will have the chance to see Wayne Blair's 'Top End Wedding' early next year, but only on VOD and other digital platforms.
