James Hoare in 'Picture Wheel'.
After graduating from Waapa in 2007, actor turned writer-director David O.Donnell moved to Sydney, where he met Nida student Alex Russell through another actor friend, Ande Cunningham.
The trio has been working together ever since, forming their own company, Five Lip Films, with two of Russell.s fellow Nida students, James Elliot and Sarah-Jane McAllan.
All five are in development on their own projects. Last year Cunningham directed short film Oranges Don.t Grow on Trees, featuring Russell and Sarah Snook..
.Our tastes really do contrast quite a bit, generally,. says O.Donnell. .We don.t agree on most films. Even the name we couldn.t agree on (laughs)...
The group finally settled on Five Lip Films (after a stint as Rockpool Films) because .it was five of us giving each other lip, disagreeing with each other...

Indie filmmaker Sean Hackett is making his directorial debut with a film called Homecoming, and we've got the first trailer for the picture.
