Josh Lawson, Evie Macdonald and Grace Feng Fang Juan.
Screen Australia has announced more than $5.7 million in production funding for three features, two children’s TV series and two online projects.
The slate includes a psychological thriller from director Daina Reid and writer Hannah Kent, Run Rabbit Run, and the anticipated film adaptation of Leah Purcell play The Drover’s Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson. Epic Films has also been supported to turn First Day, which won the top prize at Mipcom’s Diversify TV Excellence Awards in Cannes last year, into a full series.
Screen Australia CEO Graeme Mason said: “It’s great to see several established creatives taking on new challenges. Daina Reid has had incredible success in television here and overseas, and we’re excited to see her returning to Australia to direct ghost thriller Run Rabbit Run, the debut screenplay from award-winning author Hannah Kent.
