“For Evie” is a short film that follows Evie’s journey as she deals with the loss of her father. The film takes a nostalgic look at a daughter’s relationship with her father through those crucial moments of growing up. It is through their love of playing the guitar that eventually brings them both closer to each other. Set against the backdrop of Melbourne, Australia and Singapore, the film explores intercultural themes intertwined with music and art.

We’ve done three days of shooting so far on For Evie with a majority of the film in the can. Unfortunately we do have to reshoot one scene, and pick up another that we dropped from the schedule and they will both be shot towards the end of April. On March 31st, Dave (DP), Rachel (Producer/Actor) and I will travel to Singapore to shoot the external shots for the Singapore scene, which we’re really looking forward to. Big thanks to Rachel’s dad who has managed to secure us free accommodation.

Coming up we have the For Evie fundraising event, featuring the boys from Rhymada playing an acoustic set, and various door prizes to be given away on the night. Please come down to Elwood Lounge in Elwood (Melbourne, Australia) on Thursday 22nd of March at 8pm. Tickets are at the door and are only $10, all proceeds go towards our post production budget.

For Evie is still on track for a finish date of before June 1st 2012, and we plan to have some stills released by then, keep an eye out!

Online web magazine twoseveneight will also launch soon with its website and first episode near completion. It’s project listing will be updated very soon with links and details.

Breaking up with your personal trainer is a lot harder than you think, especially if he’s obsessed like Steve.

SANDWICH (2011)

Short film One Moment has been selected to screen in competition at the Made In Melbourne film festival on closing night, Friday December 9th at the Great Northern Hotel (in Carlton, Melbourne). There will be an audience award on the night for a film they vote to be the best, so make sure you get down there.

For further information and to see the full program please visit: http://www.mim.org.au/program.html

The other project I have been working on and this is relatively new is an entry to the Movie Extra Webfest competition, where you have to make a 1 minute trailer for a fictional 7 part web series. The winner gets $50,000 t0 turn that trailer into a full series. It’s a pretty exciting competition and highlights the importance of the web and the role it’s now playing in the contemporary media landscape. Audiences must vote on the video entries through Facebook and the votes are open as soon as the video is uploaded and accepted. My entry is called Irresponsible Service of Alcohol, and it’s a crazy quirky comedy like the film Shaun of the Dead (but without the zombies) and is based on my experiences as a bartender working at different pubs. People who work in the hospitality should be able to relate to the little inside jokes I hope to include. The trailer will work as a quick introduction to the characters and the setup as we follow Tom on his first night in a new job.

Make sure you check the substation media Facebook page and also this website for further updates or for more information. And when the Movie Extra Webfest entry is uploaded please vote!

Cheers,

Rob Innes.
