Screen Australia's decision to handing back the rights of 1,200 titles to the producers, effective July 1, will result in the reissue on DVD and pay TV of some films and TV productions that have long been out of circulation.
The December 4 launches of Love is Now, Charlie's Farm and Turkey Shoot are yet another illustration of the utter futility of releasing Australian films on a handful of screens with minimal marketing support.
Though Jon Hewitt's latest project, Turkey Shoot, was released theatrically last week; Australian cinemas is not where the writer/director is hoping his film will find its primary audience.
Directed by Jon Hewitt and shot by DOP Warwick Field the movie used Sony’s F55 4K CineAlta Camera to achieve the distinctive look and feel required for such a unique project.
