Pine Gap
Trust but verify. Reveal their secrets but protect our own.
Set in the intensely secretive world of intelligence at the enigmatic US/Australia joint defence facility in central Australia, Pine Gap delves into the famously strong alliance. With a new global player encroaching, and the world inching closer to war – trust, betrayal, love and loyalty all come into question. What do you do for the liberal world order, what do you do for your country, what do you do for those you love and what do you do for yourself?
Production Designer: Scott Bird APDG
I Am Mother
Sci-fi/thriller starring two-time Oscar-winner Hilary Swank alongside newcomer Clara Rugaard.
A teenage girl is raised underground by a robot “Mother” – designed to repopulate the earth following an extinction event. But their unique bond is threatened when an inexplicable stranger arrives with alarming news.
Production Designer: Hugh Bateup APDG
The Nightingale
1820’s Tasmania. A young Irish convict seeks revenge.
Set in 1825, Clare, a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.
