Cannes Reaction & the next steps...

Tuesday, June 08, 2010

Hi all, 

Just back from Cannes and the UK.  "The Reef" was received really, really well, and we've already been invited to Sitges Film Festival in Spain & the Fantasy Film Festival in Germany, along with numerous other festivals that have expressed interest as well. Fingers crossed that we get into Toronto Midnight Madness!

The movie is selling well too - keep an eye out for some announcements coming soon. 

Cannes was a blast!   A feeding frenzy of ideas, hope and talent - our sharks fitted in nicely. Now it's about getting the word out here in Oz for what looks like a November release.

My last film "Black Water" was very well received and got theatrical releases around the world, but due to the distribution deals here in Australia was hardly seen. So the big push now as well is to make sure "The Reef" gets seen here at home in the land of the SHARKS!

Cheers, 
Andrew

Cannes Film Festival - Here We Come

Monday, May 10, 2010

Hi all,

It's going to be a case of from the lab to the airport!  "The Reef" will be ready tomorrow morning after months of post-production.  

I am on a plane at 2pm to head to the Cannes Film Festival where "The Reef" will have its first ever public screening - what a ride!

Fingers crossed the world still has an appetite for shark movies.  Stay tuned! 

All the best

Next Step...Editing and Beyond...

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

So we've wrapped principal photography and editing on The Reef has finally commenced! 

It's SO good to be inside - not having to worry about what the weather is doing, not having to be in the water 10 hours a day, not having to re-arrange schedules everyday because of the weather conditions...and best of all - seeing the film come alive.

Editing is such a fascinating process.  You sit through a long dreary compile of footage thinking "oh my god what rubbish!", but then you start to sculpt, play with the timing, rhythms, emotions, sound and suddenly that dull inert object on the screen starts to reveal itself as a true gem!

I'm also starting to get fully absorbed in the sound - the other great dimension of a thriller.  

The post production process is a long road - there's so much work to do to complete the film so stay tuned for more updates.
Cheers,
Andrew
