Description
We are always interested in projects that deal with themes around decolonization and are cinematically engaging, whether for film or TV. Stories about Indigenous communities, immigrant and diaspora communities, and the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities are a priority, but we are open to all stories that bring a radical point of view to society and aim to build empathy for underrepresented communities. We are primarily genre-agnostic, creator-driven, premium-focused, and open to adapting intellectual property. We are currently interested in finding an Australian co-producer and broadcaster for our Canadian-Australian co-production series, which is currently entitled "FLIPPED." FLIPPED is a comedy series about a 20-something Filipino-Australian man and his mother who discover that they are both queer and decide to reinvent themselves by living together in Banff, Canada, on a working holiday. The series is based on the UTS Backstage play "THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK" by Dr. Elaine Laforteza, who has a PhD in Cultural Studies and is an Equity & Diversity Project Officer at the University of Technology Sydney. We are also interested in finding an Australian co-producer for our Tamil-language ensemble horror film, "THE DEVIL'S TEARS." The film follows the story of a Tamil village in Sri Lanka after the civil war, plagued by blood-red rain that zombifies the villagers into their darkest selves. The film encompasses themes of post-war trauma, the lies and secrets that arise in wartime, and around the community and how it can take a village to raise the next generation.
