Melbourne writer finds success in Venezuela
The soccer film Hermano, written by Melbourne-based Rohan Jones, is currently the number four film at the box office in Venezuela.
“One of the reasons I went overseas was to get a film up. The process to do so here, is limited by imagination,” Jones told Encore.
Jones met director Marcel Raquin at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2003, when Rasquin was an international student.
“I helped him on all his films and we became good friends. Then I went to Venezuela to write three times, from 2005 to 2008. The original was written in English – which I have the rights to make into a film,” he said.
