Production house Jungleboys to produce a feature film
Australian production house Jungleboys has signalled aspirations to create a feature length movie.
In a video interview with Encore editor Brooke Hemphill, Jungleboys founder and executive producer Jason Burrows said: “We’d like to do a feature at some stage. Down the track we’d like to do something. We definitely have some ideas that we think lend themselves to features rather than to TV.”
The production house has seen moderate success with ABC sketch comedy series The Elegant Gentleman’s Guide To Knife Fighting and A Moody Christmas which they are in talks to produce a US adaptation.
While Burrows pointed to a future feature, he says the company is currently focused on production television and last year was awarded a share of more than $2.7 million as part of Screen Australia’s Enterprise Funding program.
Great company producing great content… keep up the good work!
I’ve only seen a few sketches but I would say when the ABC bumps your show back half an hour and it rates around 250,000 I would not say it was a moderate success. I know it’s got a few youtube views but most lips have well under 5000. I mean outland end up with 164,000 and it was seen as a complete failure. Knife Fighting didn’t do much better.
The series started as youtube clips. Nobody watched them, then they had national tv exposure and a couple of the clips took off. That’s not much of a success. What happened to all the new writers that were supposed to be showcased on this show?
Great work. Brave, clever and restrained writing. The guys will be huge
Thank you Billy C.
Moody Xmas was great TV, Knife fighting was and is a dud
