As a freelance Brisbane based editor it is always amazing to see stories that I’ve created get nominated for awards and appear at international festivals. Stray has been making big waves for a short film born from the passion of a number of local Brisbane based filmmakers and with the amazing support of Screen Queensland.
Recently the production saw ‘official selection’ at the 20th Nevermore Film Festival in North Carolina. It’s a fantastic start to 2019 and we only hope these stories and the ones we make in the future continue to be seen and make waves at more screenings in the future.
The Nevermore Film Festival will be highlighting dark fantasy, sci-fi and horror shorts and features from around the world from March 8th to 10th.
Posterboy, Stray & A Picture of Other People honoured for Cinematography.
These three great films were recently recognised in their craft of Cinematography. Two of which I had the pleasure of working as lead editor, one of which I worked as a VFX artist. Cinematographer and all-round visual artist Brian Loewe was recognised by the Australian Cinematography Society (ACS) for his work on these three pieces last week.
Brian puts such dedication and care into his craft and each frame drips with his quality and years of experience. Most of these films are still running through the festival market and each of them appears to be doing quite well gaining selection, nominations and some wins as they move forward.It has been a pleasure to work with him on a number of projects both corporate and narrative over the years. I’m excited to see where his skill takes him next.
Stray Screens at Hollywood Screamfest!
Over these last few months I have been working closely with the team at Sway Pictures to complete the editing and mastering of our new short horror film funded and developed with Screen Queensland
Since the inception of the idea it has been quite a fast turn around, completing the offline edit in only a few weeks. The team and I worked closely with Empire Post who produced the short’s fantastic VFX sequences. The colour grade (completed by our DOP Brian Loewe) is nothing short of spectacular!
Currently the production team is over in LA touring the short at Hollywood Screamfest, it is always a pleasure to see my edit recognised at these awesome festivals.
Shakes Continues Its Run in the Festival Circuit.
This week the short film Shakes has continued its festival run with a screening at the Backyard Film Festival and selection into the Long Island International Film Expo. It’s exciting to see my visual effects work traveling to so many festivals and for the film to receive so many good reviews across its screenings.
You can catch Shakes the Long Island International Film Expo on the 13th - 20th of July
