Burning Man shooting in wet Sydney
Production has begun on writer/director Jonathan Teplitzky’s film Burning Man in Sydney.
International sales are being handled by New York’s Filmbox, with a Scandinavian pre-sale (Svensk) already negotiated at Cannes.
British producer Andy Paterson shares the the production with Teplitzky. Executive producers are Daria Jovicic, Cedric Jeanson and Sam Tromans.
In Burning Man, Matthew Goode plays Tom, an English chef with a chic restaurant on Bondi Beach. He’s a man behaving badly, surrounded by women trying in their own ways to help him put his life back together. Those women include Bojana Novakovic, Rachel Griffiths, Essie Davis, Kerry Fox, Kate Beahan and Gia Carides.
The project received the financial support of Screen Australia and Screen NSW and Standard Chartered Bank, with the Producer Offset as part of the financing model. It was developed through the Aurora program.
Transmission will release the film in Australia/NZ next year.
