A comedy-drama about a teen boy’s quest to take part in his rural home town’s debutante ball as his drag queen persona will receive development support via the Aacta Pitch: Regional Landscapes initiative.
Announced on Friday, Katie Huggins’ The Deb was named as this year’s winner of the national pitching and screenwriting program, held in partnership with Screenworks, among a field of seven finalists.
Huggins pitched her feature film idea about a town’s response to a boy’s search for identity and recognition to a judging panel that included actress Pallavi Sharda, producers Virginia Whitwell and Isabel Stanfield, Event Cinemas general manager Claire Gandy, and Melbourne International Film Festival industry director Mark Woods.
Speaking at the Screenworks Regional to Global Screen Forum in Lennox Head, she said she felt “compelled” to make a submission after seeing a brief on Facebook.

Richard Kadrey, author of the fantasy book series “Sandman Slim,” has written an original screenplay called “Dark West” that will be adapted into a movie by “Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead” writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner.
Chris Goldberg’s Winterlight Pictures has optioned “Dark West” and set Roache-Turner to write the next draft of the script. Roache-Turner is eyeing to direct the film in his native Australia. Kadrey is also working on turning “Dark West” into a graphic novel.
“Dark West” is a vampire revenge thriller set on the highways of Texas that follows two car thieves who accidentally T-bone a pair of vampires in the middle of the night. The story is in the vein of the classic ’80s horror films “The Hitcher” and Kathryn Bigelow’s “Near Dark.”

Isabel Lucas, Hunter Page-Lochard, Lily Sullivan and Us actor Bobbi Salvor Menuez lead the ensemble cast of Daniel Askill’s debut feature film, a currently untitled psychological thriller.
The See Pictures and Collider project has just started shooting in the Cape Tribulation rainforest in Queensland, with Priscilla Doueihy, actor/musician Kirin J Kallahan and Trevor Jamieson also set to star.

Now shooting in Sydney, the comedy-drama stars Noni Hazlehurst as June, a woman who experiences a medical miracle, after which she has only a few days to bring together her estranged children, save the family’s wallpaper business and rekindle an old flame.
Claudia Karvan and Stephen Curry are playing her children in the movie produced by Jamie Hilton, Michael Pontin, Drew Bailey and Isabel Stanfield for See Pictures.
The Wellington-born Winlove wrote the screenplay in 2017, aiming to appeal to older cinemagoers. His La-based agent, Verve’s Parker Davis, and his manager Scott Carr shopped the project and Hilton pounced.
