Luke Sparke’s sci-fi thriller 'Occupation' and Jennifer Peedom’s feature doc 'Mountain' are the latest Aussie films to secure theatrical distribution in the US.
Clay Epstein's Film Mode Entertainment acquired the international rights and screened the film at the American Film Market, resulting in a raft of deals with distributors in the US, Japan, China, Vietnam and other Asian markets.
Sparke made his feature debut last year with 'Red Billabong'. Next month, the director will kick off the shoot for his second film, action sci-fi 'Occupation', on the Gold Coast and northern NSW.
Father and son team Ian and Luke Sparke have worked together on several war films. They are now preparing their first feature The 34th Battalion.
