‘Searching for the Tassie Tiger’.
Screen Australia and Vice have named Searching for the Tassie Tiger as the winner of annual pitching competition Pitch Australiana, held at the Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) in Melbourne in early March.
The creative team – director Naomi Ball and producers David Elliot-Jones and Louis Dai – will receive $50,000 in production funding and their short documentary will be released through Vice’s global digital network, and broadcast on Sbs Viceland.
Searching for the Tassie Tiger will explore new evidence and a growing civilian movement that are challenging the long-held belief that Tasmanian tigers are extinct. The documentary will follow Neil Waters, a middle-aged gardener in remote north-east Tasmania, as he quits his day job and commits his life’s savings to search for the ancient animal. Waters is the impassioned creator of the ‘Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia’ Facebook page which is leading an Australia-wide grassroots effort to rediscover the tiger.
