Nakkiah Lui, Sarah Kern and Tai Hara.

Screen Australia today announced $2.7 million of production funding, going towards two features, one TV drama, one children’s drama and five online projects.

The slate includes the Roache-Turner brothers’ Wyrmwood Apocalypse, sequel to 2014’s Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead; writer/director Sara Kern’s debut feature Vesna; Nakkiah Lui and Gabe Dowrick’s ABC comedy Preppers; and a second season of Komixx Entertainment’s Itch.

Screen Australia head of content Sally Caplan said: “This slate of projects is testament to the breadth of Australian storytellers and what they’re capable of creating when supported. We are committed to elevating the careers of emerging talent and it’s exciting to see the likes of Sara Kern making her feature film debut, Nakkiah Lui creating her first longer form TV series and actor Tai Hara moving into directing with online series Colour Blind.”

‘H is for Happiness.’

For producer, director, writer and distributor Robert Connolly, the clear challenge for Australian filmmakers is to create cinema works that speak to the issues the world is facing.

For writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner and his producer brother Tristan Roache-Turner, the solution to the declining indie market lies partly in developing multiple projects with various producers.

Coupled with that is the brothers’ willingness to spend hundreds of hours working with distributors to sell each film and push for more screens.

Producer Julie Ryan laments the increasing trend by some government agencies to encourage producers to pitch feature projects to streaming services rather than via the traditional sales agent/distributor model.

“I am not against having my film released on a streaming service but there isn’t any incentive for them to invest upfront and replace the market funds that were traditionally covered by the sales agent advance and Australia-New Zealand distribution guarantee,...

After taking a unique approach to zombies in 2015's Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, co-writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner and co-writer Tristan Roache-Turner deliver a decidedly new spin on ghosts in their latest effort, Nekrotronic. With the horror comedy looking to haunt theaters, VOD, and digital HD on August 9th from Momentum Pictures, we caught up with the filmmakers in our latest Q&a feature, and they discussed how the screenplay changed drastically over the span of two years, working with a talented cast including Ben O'Toole and Monica Bellucci, reteaming with cinematographer Tim Nagle, and they also talked about their plans for a potential prequel to Nekrotronic.

Let’s start off discussing the story of Nekrotronic. We’ve seen supernatural movies before, but you guys went at this in a very different direction than I have ever seen before with this. What was the inspiration behind the story and the...

In general, I haven’t been a big fan of zombie movies over the last five years. It may be related to how zombie-crazy pop culture has gotten as of late, but I rarely get enthused these days over the prospect of watching the undead munch their way through yet another 90 minutes of my time. But then a movie like Wyrmwood comes along and completely proves me wrong. This Australian zombie romp is as gory as it is fiercely hilarious, managing to find some clever new twists to the ever-popular subgenre.

Wyrmwood was entitled after a passage in the Book of Revelations that prophesized the end of days after “ a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky and turned the water bitter.” It’s a biblical allegory that fits perfectly here as the outbreak of the zombie pandemic is caused by a passing comet one night; people...

Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead is a confident debut from Aussie filmmaker Kiah Roache-Turner, a man who dares to create an apocalyptic landscape that re-imagines zombie lore in a ballsy new light. Gone are the teachings of George A. Romero, as Kiah and his brother Tristan instead turn to down-under legend George Miller for inspiration and a more action-heavy attitude over traditional zombie thinking. Kiah and Tristan set out to make a film that blends Mad Max and Night Of The Living Dead, and they certainly whip up a rip-roaring mechanized nightmare that screams “Mission Accomplished.” Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead establishes a violent dystopia filled with armored vehicles, sick experiments and tons of bad blood, and while the story leaves unexplained holes, Wyrmwood is a lonely road I’d love to travel down many more times.

When Australia is ravaged by a massive zombie infection, only a few survivors...
