Honest, It's Really True

Posted by Mark Juddery

I am about to finish post-production on The Seventies Myth, a proof-of-concept for a proposed comedy-mocko series Honest, It's Really True. A producer was attached, but she has recently returned to full-time study (learning film production, so good for her) and I'm looking for a new producer.
Though I'm an award-winning screenwriter, most of my work remains unproduced. This proof of concept (written, directed and co-produced by me) is now one of the few exceptions. If you'd like to know more, please drop me a line: mail@markjuddery.com - or Skype me on goldenboat27. Perhaps we can talk at SPAA Fringe.
I hope to hear from you soon (unless you're selling holiday packages - sorry, I can't afford them).

We uncover the truth behind many grand conspiracies - so shocking that we had to invent them.

Auto Love

Posted by CliveHopkins

A short film about a man who loves his car... too much...
Auto Love will be the directorial debut of Clive Hopkins, writer of the upcoming feature ROAD TRAIN (currently in post-production) and the Oscar nominated short HOLIDAY ROMANCE.
We have the actors (it's a two-hander without dialogue), the money (not much), and of course the car!
Looking for a Sydney-based producer (with some short film experience) and other crew to make this happen on a one-day shoot in November. Be part of this year's funniest and most original short film production... a definite contender for Tropfest.
