In Melbourne meeting sales agents and distributers. We had a good screening of Russian Snark and are hoping for a pick up of our film. Interest from several parties however in Stephen’s next film project so will keep you posted about that over the next few months.

Global exploitation of our film is off to a roaring start, with its screening this Friday at the Melbourne Film Festival’s 37 Degrees South Film Market. We’re the only Kiwi film to be chosen as one of the Breakthru Screenings, which will be attended by sales agents and distributors from all over. I wouldn’t mind being there myself, but it’s really more of a producer’s playground than a writer/director’s. Besides, I’m rehearsing my play Intimacies, which is going on at the Victoria Theatre in Devonport in early August, so I’ll have to leave the horse trading to Liz, who is off to Oz tomorrow. Sock it ‘em, Liz!

We are heading to Melbourne! We have been confirmed for the 37 Degree South Break Thru Screenings and are very excited about the possibility of getting an international sales agent and potentially an Australian distributer for our film.  The market is geared to assist Australian and NZ producers in making contact with the wider world, and so attracts buyers looking for antipodean projects both in the script stage and the finished stage like Russian Snark. As one of only 7 films screening in the Break Thru screenings we hope this wil indeed be a break through for us!  Will keep you posted as things progress on that front!

We have a had a great theatrical run at over 28 cinemas around NZ and garnered lots of critical acclaim in the process…looking forward to the next step!
