On Friday Screen Queensland confirmed further investment in Jucy, so we can reshoot some scenes and finish the film for releasing to the world in April. We are very fortunate also to be partnering with Post Lounge for this next stage. We’re picking up shots this week and heading back into the offline suite before the end of the year. Please contact KCDC for more information.
With JUCY close to being finished (at least in the offline sense), I’ve been thinking lots about romantic comedies… and discovered that MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING is the highest grossing box office romcom ever made (in the English speaking world).
Predictably SEX AND THE CITY is in the top ten, as is PRETTY WOMAN. At KCDC we’re working on a sequel to the latter, the real story of what happens when a sex worker marries a rich man… more later.

Louise and I took the Jucy roughcut in to the PFTC yesterday, and… they really liked it. Much kudos to Louise and Andrew who are doing an awesome job in the edit suite.

Despite Jucy not appearing in my recent posts, we’ve been busy bees in the last two months… Louise has been editing in Sydney with Andrew Soo; and as well as sending out cheques I’ve been putting elements together for Executive Producer Steve Kearney to take to Cannes in May. Read More »
With only 14 days to shoot a feature film, we’re editing an assembly of scenes as we go to ensure we capture everything we need, and to keep on top of our pick-up list.
One of the highlights of the SPAA 08 conference was hearing Chris Adams speak about the projects he was initiating and facilitating, and then meeting Chris and his friend and business partner Steve Kearney.
