Hello there ,
We hope August has been kind to you all and if not, then adios August, spring into September!
We'll be kicking off our Aug issue with the incredible Queensland-based First Nation's Writer/Director, Dean Gibson. Followed by two magnificent women stepping into exciting new leadership roles, Yasmine Lintemeijer has been announced as the new Head of Fox Studios Australia, meanwhile, Jennie Zeiher becomes President of Rising Sun Pictures.
Industrial Light and Magic's Alex Fry is a man who knows how to manoeuvre colour - naturally we had to find out everything that makes him tick. We're proud to see that Framestore is receiving stacks of recognition for brilliant work across multiple projects. A first look at Victorian-filmed Apple+ series, Shantaram, starring Charlie Hunnam. We've got a wonderful BTS on creating the sonic landscape of Three Thousand Years of Longing at Trackdown studios.
With additional and equally marvellous news from Screen NSW, Supervixen, CATO Location Services, TAG, SAFC, Show Group and Animal Logic.
We hope you enjoy this issue!
With our fondest wishes,
The Ausfilm team
