There are hopes of a wide audience for John V Soto’s action thriller Avarice, which has entered post-production following a four-week shoot in Perth.
Starring Gillian Alexy and Luke Ford, the film follows a woman as she attempts to rescue her husband following his abduction during a vicious home invasion.
Rounding out the cast are Nick Atkinson, Tom O’Sullivan, Priscilla-Anne Jacob and Ryan Panizza.
The script was penned Adam Enslow, Dane Millerd, Andrew Slattery and Soto, who also produces alongside Tim Maddocks for Filmscope Entertainment and Maddfilms, respectively.
Soto told If that the production, which was supported by Screenwest and Lotterywest, had so far resembled a “well-oiled machine”.
“We completed the Avarice shoot on time and on budget and have captured some wonderful performances with beautiful cinematography,” he said.
“I was blessed to work with such a super talented cast and crew who were almost entirely West Australian.
