We’ve wrapped principal photography for season one of our new series ‘Linda, Ellie, and Char’, starring Emma Spencer, Hilary Boyce, and El Kiley, with support from Rhys Carter.

We are working on post production now and are excited to bring this to everyone in the next couple of months.

We’re filming indoors this weekend so scenes like this are now just a distant memory; except of course for the weekend following, when we’re back outside again.

Who else loves Melbourne’s weather?

Excellent performances from Emma, Hilary, and El in the first episode of Linda, Ellie, and Char.

Watch this space for the release date.

Char is going to be played by El Kiley in Linda, Ellie, and Char. We are filming in winter so a long jacket is probably mandatory. .

What an amazing event from WTF Film Festival in Canberra! A big shout out to all of the filmmakers from around the world and especially the entrants in Schlock Horror. It was great to see everyone’s work on the big screen.

We are so honoured to have won.

A professional event that was a fantastic day (and night) for any film fan.

12/09/2023

We're going to Canberra!

Let's see what sort of fireworks Tradies can conjure up, as a nomination for Best Schlock Horror at the WTF Film Festival.

Held at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, the WTF Film Festival has 16 categories, and our nomination also puts Chrissi in the running for best director.

We'll be attending in person, so it should be a fun little road trip on the 7th of October.

This gang worked bloody hard last weekend to get all of the principal photography for Tradies done!

We can assure you that they were happy for the duration.

I was getting sick of looking at the ‘suggested post to promote’ being the torso that we’ve got for Tradies, so here’s a photo of Tony and Christine from the set of Narrators. At least when the post suggestion comes up, it will be these guys!

Sometimes, in the history of created art in the visual medium, a game changer totally realigns what can be classified as perfection. The last such realignment occurred in 1984.

The next one has been scheduled for 2024.

This is the usual time of year that we are shooting, so we have obviously confused the weather gods.

The Shovel

For many years, the biggest honour that an Australian filmmaker could get was Margaret and David arguing about your film.

Here, they review the genre-bending 2020.

We asked Margaret & David – Australia’s most-loved film reviewers – to review '2020'. Guess how many stars they gave it?
