Goalpost Pictures partners Rosemary Blight, Ben Grant and Kylie du Fresne are busily progressing projects in development with local and international partners and are confident the cinema business will rebound after the pandemic.
Nearly 30 projects will share in $975,000 of story development funding from Screen Australia, including a television series inspired by the 1999 film 'Two Hands' from director Gregor Jordan, and a family feature film from the producers of 'Bluey'.
The epic four-part series from Goalpost Television will air over two weeks, starting October 13 at 9.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Lâle Teoman has been able to take a "deep dive" into the development process as part of her placement at Goalpost Pictures via the inaugural SBS Emerging Writers Incubator.
"I like the attention we put on having much more well-rounded female characters but I get a little bee in my bonnet sometimes when all this focus gets put on these 'strong female characters'. Women are just strong - that’s how it is."
Director Wayne Blair’s latest feature 'Top End Wedding' will kick off production early next year, with Miranda Tapsell to star.
Amazon will launch its first Australian original feature film, 'Five Blind Dates', on Prime Video February 13, ahead of Valentine's Day.
