Raw Nerve’s Switch in production
Short film Switch, written and directed by Phoebe Hartley, produced by Brendan Lee and executive produced by Marc Gracie has headed into production.
The project is one of three scripts funded by Screen Australia and Open Channel as part of Victoria’s screen resource centre’s 2011 Raw Nerve short film production initiative.
The ten minute drama is set in an outer suburban skateboard park and explores the mounting tension between two sisters in one afternoon that changes everything. The cast includes Tangle‘s Lucia Emmerichs, Neighbour‘s Dylan Russell and Quinn Cameron.
Writer/director Phoebe Hartley said in a statement, “The enthusiasm of our youthful actors is infectious. We’re having a ball rehearsing at the skateboard park location and watching Dylan do his stuff on the half-pipe. It’s wonderful to have such support when making a short film: from the industry bodies, from Knox City Council, and from our crew members, who are generously donating their time and talent.”
Other key members of the crew are cinematographer Marin Johnson, editor Ben Hall and editing mentor Cindy Clarkson (Van Diemen’s Land).
