Written, directed and produced by Serhat Caradee, with producers Liz Burton and Steve Jaggi, A Lion Returns is an emotionally-charged and intense drama that reveals the impact of a returned Australian militant (Tyler de Nawi) on his family and those closest to him. Bonsai Films will release the AACTA-nominated film in select cinemas November 5.
Serhat Caradee and his creative team have demonstrated that filmmakers do not need a lot of time and money, or any government support to realise their dream.
Caradee (Cedar Boys) and Krige (West) have joined forces with producers Anne Robinson (West, Backyard Ashes), Tim Maddocks (Terminus) and Liz Burton (Cedar Boys) to develop content for local and international markets under the Bonafide banner.
Over $450,000 in funding will be spread across 19 feature films following an announcement from Screen Australia today.
Forthcoming Lebanese drama Cedar Boys is gearing up for a theatrical release in either June or July
