The Australian Writer’s Guild of NSW Committee next week presents the first “Write Night†event for 2015, Maverick Masters of Mayhem, an evening with Michael Robertson and Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner, creators of Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead.
While AACTA's Byron Kennedy Award is typically given to an individual or organisation who demonstrates "outstanding creative enterprise", this year the award will go to a film.
Studiocanal has acquired the UK and Australian rights to Wyrmwood, a horror/comedy billed as Mad Max meets Dawn of the Dead.
In the aftermath of a comet breaking up over the Earth, most of the planet’s population succumb to a strange disease which turns them into ‘zombies’.
For a first-up effort, the horror/comedy Wyrmwood looks like being a powerful catalyst for the careers of brothers Kiah Roache-Turner and Tristan Roache-Turner.
Brothers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner have brought a unique approach to the zombie sub-genre with their debut feature Wyrmwood, which skilfully mixes mayhem and black comedy.
