MON 25 JULY 2016 | content update
Met with Stephen Luby yesterday (Ruby Entertainment - re: producing: professional feedback/mentoring) on funding pitch doc for The Contract. Steve ran the emerging producers course at Open Channel I attended in 2013:

• http://rubyentertainment.com.au/?page_id=885
• http://rubyentertainment.com.au/?page_id=230

I'm pulling back on tasks/filming for the pitch and for the time being will be focusing solely on strategy and pitch docs strategy for The Contract and Projects in Development (13 titles) in the slate.

Thanks for all your input and feedback throughout to date. With the idea of the 'pre-CONTRACT', will dump this and as substitute will develop webseries around Melbourne Metro Underground Rail project - the shelf life and audience potential is far greater (went to a community forum on Tuesday night in St Kilda Rd).

The offer is always open re: filming and further chats about developing character and their storyline's if worth your time.

FILM | New Poster Announces Intergalactic Premiere of Daniel Armstrong's 'SHEBORG MASSACRE'

SHEBORG MASSACRE'S INTERGALACTIC PREMIERE crash lands to Earth on July 4th 2016 in Melbourne (Australia) -  exactly one year from the first day of shooting.

In conjunction with the announcement of the film’s premiere Strongman Pictures have also unveiled, for the first time, the official SHEBORG MASSACRE poster by Tom Hodge, The Dude Designs. The artwork has a retro sensibility, drawing on the style of B movie science fiction VHS box shots from the 80s (artwork below).

This news is so fresh, actor Sean McIntyre​ hasn't even had time to draft his own media release.

As the flame throwin' 'Mayor Jack Whiteman', Sean spent a lot of time on the shoot watching other people doing stunts and getting covered in goo.

Let's not split hairs - he's still trying to work out how to turn off the frickin' flame-thrower.

MEDIA RELEASE - Film | Josephine Croft signs on for 'The Contract'

Melbourne, Australia | Monday 2nd May 2016

Callumny Films is thrilled to announce that Josephine Croft has joined the cast of ‘The Contract’. Josephine will play the role of MASTON - Senior Political Reporter, The Australian.

This year Josephine will be seen in the much anticipated 2016 release of 'The Legend of Ben Hall', the Australian feature film debut of writer/director Matthew Holmes. 'The Legend of Ben Hall' has a heavy-hitting Hollywood-based writer/director/producer with proven commercial credits - none other than Greg McLean of 'Wolf Creek' fame (who happens to have a common degree of separation in John Jarratt with Quentin Tarantino, just quietly).

NEWS | 'The Contract' - Casting Announcement Monday 2nd May

Callumny Films will announce the latest addition to the cast of 'The Contract' tomorrow, Monday 2nd May 2016.

This well-known industry professional is a talented, high-flying (literally) creative with a finger in more than a few pies - both in-front and behind the camera.

Their upcoming projects include the much anticipated 2016 release of a major Australian feature film whose executive producer is a heavy-hitting Hollywood-based writer/director/producer with proven commercial credits.

So...forget the cat video's, memes and iPhone pics of lattes with images of the Virgin Mary. As GM from 'The Contract' would say: "Stay tuned right 'ere for the shit that matters"...

NEWS | Aussie Andrew Bongiorno Has 'Em Screamin' For More L.A. Encores

Bonge (Andrew Bongiorno) is killin' it in L.A. on both stage and screen.

One of the great supporters of A Fistful of Scripts and Callumny Films, Bonge is currently starring as song and dance man Peter Allen in 'The Boy From Oz'.  It's a smart career move. With his US career rapidly gaining traction, we see no reason why Bonge can't emulate another charismatic Aussie singer/dancer/actor - Hugh Jackman.

Andrew Bongiorno recently confirmed his casting in 'A Kind of Destiny', accepting the role of JUDAS which he originated in July 2010.

Sean McIntyre's screenplay is a clever depiction of Jesus and Judas - just as their bro-mance disintegrates. The story is a character study in the themes of destiny and free will.

A Hollywood-based ex-pat, Callumny Films will fly Andrew to his home town of Melbourne, Australia for filming on location at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Keir Saltmarsh confirmed his role as JESUS, while Simon Todman will reprise his as the ROMAN SOLDIER.

Project possibilities? Take your pick: Stand-alone project | pitch project to present to commercial networks | web-series in 3 parts | TV series in 6 parts

Either way you’ll get an IMDB credit.

In April 2011, ‘A Fistful of Scripts’ presented ‘The Contract’ as a short play in a cold reading format. At 12 minutes in length, the audience was thoroughly captivated and engaged to the point of insisting the script was better suited to a TV series format.

Amazingly, the talented cast remain fully committed to the project, ready and raring to go (given sufficient notice among other things). 

A talented team is already quickly assembling including a DOP of great distinction with international experience and credits on high-end Hollywood-produced feature films achieving world-wide mainstream cinema release to critical and commercial acclaim.
