SBS has commissioned a four-part drama set during the 1850s gold rush from the perspective of desperate Chinese miners from Goalpost Television, to be directed by Ana Kokkinos.
Nearly 30 projects will share in $975,000 of story development funding from Screen Australia, including a television series inspired by the 1999 film 'Two Hands' from director Gregor Jordan, and a family feature film from the producers of 'Bluey'.
Netflix has acquired the worldwide rights to Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling's post-apocalyptic debut feature, 'Cargo', recently shot in South Australia.
Yolanda Ramke was browsing social media when she spotted a tweet from Mike Flanagan, creator/showrunner of Netflix’s 'The Haunting of Hill House', complimenting her and her co-director Ben Howling on 'Cargo'.
The first production still has been released from Cargo, starring Sherlock’s Martin Freeman.
Nearly 50 projects will benefit from $1.2 million through Screen Australia's Premium and Generate Funds, including new work from 'Class of 07' creator Kacie Anning and multi-hyphenate Leah Purcell.
The epic four-part series from Goalpost Television will air over two weeks, starting October 13 at 9.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling’s debut feature Cargo – dubbed a ‘zombie tearjerker’ – will make its world premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival in October.
