A Heartbeat Away gets release date
Hoyts Distribution has announced that A Heartbeat Away will have a wide release on March 3, 2011.
“Hoyts Distribution and we filmmakers see A Heartbeat Away as a multiplex film, ” producer Chris Fitchett told Encore in February.
A Heartbeat Away is theatre director Gale Edwards’ first film. It was shot in Brisbane and financed by Screen Australia, Screen Queensland, Cutting Edge and UK’s Quickfire Films.
Chris Fitchett produces, alongside executive producers Chris Brown (Pictures in Paradise), John Lee (Cutting Edge), Gary Hamilton and James Atherton (Arclight Films).
The story is about an aspiring rock guitarist who is forced to take over the musical direction of his father’s marching band just weeks before a major competition. The cast includes Isabel Lucas, Sebastian Gregory, Williams Zappa, Tammy Macintosh and Colin Friels.
Good to see Screen Australia funding one of their own again. Isn’t Chris Fitchett just recently out of a management position at Screen Australia. Seems that film school starts with a high up position at Screen Australia then a blank cheque. Why does Screen Australia have such a horrific turn over in staff who usually only leave to pursue Screen Australia funds to make their own films? Just an interesting fact on the matter. Certainly a golden ticket to making feature films in this country.
