the no-budget comedy-horror-action-thriller feature film

 

Cod, The Fish That Ate Canberra, based on a true story and Jaws

Hi! We are independent film producers with extensive experience as short-film makers both in Australia and the UK and we are currently producing a 'no-budget' (extremely low budget) feature film set in our home town, Canberra.

The film is a comedy and is intended to show the Australian Film Industry that Canberra is a viable place to make feature films and has the necessary talent to do so. The film has an ensemble cast of characters and is designed to showcase Canberra as a fun and vibrant city. For more details about the story please read the synopsis.

We currently have support from the ACT Government as well as some small private investment. However unfortunately at this point we do not have a budget to cover wages and are currently looking for a volunteer cast and crew (including ourselves as writers and producers). We have a  number of crew positions to fill and roles to cast including children and adults of various ages.

If you are interested in participating in this project please see our 'Now Casting' and 'Now Crewing' pages

Extras Wanted

Do you want a small part on the big screen? We are also looking for a large number of Canberrans willing to be extras in some of our larger scenes, including a large family crowd at a carnival on the lake shore, and school kids arriving at the fictional 'George Lazenby High School'. We are also particularly interested in anyone with any type of watercraft (from dragon-boats to paddle steamers) for a scene involving a "fishing fleet". If this sounds like fun to you, please visit our extras registration page.

cheers & thanks

Jim & Dave
