Film maker in cuttlefish stunt at studio opening
Documentary film maker Dan Monceaux interrupted the opening ceremony of South Australian Film Corporation’s new Adelaide studios facility in a stunt to promote his film.
Monceaux produced a fish-shaped pinata and invited outgoing premier Mike Rann to hit it with a rolled up newspaper in a reference to a previous attack on the politician.
In a press release Monceaux described the stunt as “a cunningly crafted surprise protest”. He also claimed the stunt was “”in a style comparable to that of famous political satirists from The Chaser”.

He said: “Our film will draw attention to the environmental negligence of South Australian politicians and the mining sector. While the film’s still in production, these parties have an opportunity to clean up their act and improve their public image. Else they can behave as they have traditionally and bury themselves in a future PR nightmare.”

If he reckons he can make a quid & save the planet improving the genre – good luck to him – certainly got a green growth audience waiting – maybe if were lucky we can convince some radical DC to make one about us (screenwriters commercial film sector) – how we admit less carbon emisions than comparable forms of entertainment?
