The Floating World
Much excitement around my personal and professional campfire. My producing lecturer from the VCA, and now friend, Ros Walker is circling ever nearer to getting her feature film up at last. At least according to Hollywood reporter.
Ros is characteristically playing her cards close to her chest on this, but I am hopeful for her because:
a/ its a really great story, b/ she really deserves it and c/ its a REALLY great story.
Here is the quote from aap wire.
Mendelsohn, Colosimo star in new movie
Friday May 26 06:16 AEST
Ben Mendelsohn and Vince Colosimo will star opposite Spanish actor Elena Anaya in outback drama The Floating World.Industry press at the Cannes International Film Festival reported John Winter would write and direct the film which is being sold at the festival trade fair.
The Hollywood Reporter described the film as a "haunting and at times disturbing journey".
Anaya, who has starred in such films as Sex and Lucia and Van Helsing, will play an inconsolable Spanish widow who sets up house in the Australian bush at a truck stop where she exchanges sexual favours for food.
The Floating World is being produced by Roslyn Walker of Walker Films and John Winter through his company Wintertime Films.
Palace Film will distribute The Floating World in Australia and New Zealand.
