Hi

This month's Location Spotlight features the diverse, dramatic and dazzling state of South Australia.

Method Studios Melbourne hits Hollywood after delivering work on the black comedy Downhill and on Animal Logic's Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway.

Have you dreamed of an idilic holiday on a paradise island? Be careful what you wish for: Cutting Edge makes Fantasy Island a freakin' nightmare for Blumhouse.

Heading to festivals around the globe? You are bound to hear loads of Aussie accents because Aussie productions are screening a-plenty during this year's film festival season. #AussieTalent

Didn't get a copy of the latest AUSFILM Magazine: The Locations Issue when it was launched in October? Chillax. The cover story Hey Good Lookin: Australian Locations Leave their Mark on Hollywood is now on our site and features a selection of international and Australian productions that have filmed far and wide across Australia's diverse landscapes.  Some of them are not set in Australia - but you would never know. ;)

Happy Reading!
