The winners of the 2006 Project Greenlight Australia competition will finally have their first feature film, “The View from Greenhaven”, released this month.
“The View From Greenhaven” is the first feature film written and directed by Simon and Kenn MacRae, and it will be a dream come true for the brothers when it makes its world premiere next week.
The film reunites on screen the once-married co-stars Wendy Hughes and Chris Haywood for the first time in 30 years, with their last film together being 1978’s Newsfront. Both stars will walk the red carpet at next Thursday’s world premiere for The View From Greenhaven at the Hayden Orpheum in Sydney. They will also appear on stage for a special live intro to the screening, “Angela Bishop in conversation with Wendy Hughes and Chris Haywood.”

Three Blind Mice is doing really well at the Toronto International Film Festival. So far, the reaction to the film has been fantastic! Every screening has been sold out and the audiences have been extremely supportive. Canada’s Globe & Mail also featured the film in it’s entertainment lift out cover story “7 Films you didn’t know you had to see” (please see link below).

“All my friends are leaving Brisbane”
You’re in your 20s. All your friends are in a couple or travelling overseas while you’re single and stuck in a boring job. Sound familiar?
That’s the storyline of All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane – a romantic comedy from director Louise Alston, showing at this year’s Brisbane International Film Festival.
Based on a screenplay by Brisbane playwright Stephen Vagg, the film is a very realistic account of that time in your life where you make the choice to either settle down or fly away and see the sights of the world.
Should the main character Anthea follow her friends to London, or stay in Brisbane and try to make things work out with her ex?
It attributes plenty of well-known Brisbane locations that are sure to have you pointing at the screen, saying ‘ I’ve been drinking there!’, and a fantastic, grungy soundtrack featuring some great Brisbane bands.
The soundtrack, with Giants of Science, Intercooler, Fi Claus and Dave McCormack, will be released in September to coincide with The Valley Fiesta.
