The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) has launched #SocialShorts, its national online short film competition.
In March, director Luke Eve headed to Spain to marry his fiancé, actor and writer Maria Albiñana. But when the pandemic hit, they had to cancel their wedding two days out from the event.
Gravitas Ventures will launch Luke Eve's romantic drama 'I Met a Girl' in the US as a Premium VOD release on September 11, followed a month later by VOD on a dozen digital platforms.
Epic Films' 'First Day', Ludo Studio's 'Content' and More Sauce's 'Cancelled' are among the Aussie nominees for this year's prestigious Rose d'Or Awards.
Luke Eve’s romantic drama 'I Met a Girl' will be released as a Netflix Original film in Australia and New Zealand next month after being acquired by the streamer.
"People seem to have really responded to the film as something more than just a romance - they have been enthralled and moved by the story of mental health and its effects on individuals and their families. I’m really proud of that."
Award-winning children's series 'First Day' and Luke Eve's 'ReCancelled' are among the five projects to share in $1.3 million in online production funding from Screen Australia.
"We took some time convincing one another to do it, because the subject matter would require it to be quite personal again. Of course it should be. But then when we jumped into it we realised that was its true power, so we are really glad it happened."
