Good intentions for Strangerland

Strangerland, one of NHP’s next feature film projects, received a Letter of Intent from the FFC at their September board meeting today.  

In the mysterious Strangerland, two teenage children go missing in a remote Queensland town, triggering a desperate search in the desert and some dramatic revelations about the family and the town. Screenwriter Fiona Seres, celebrated for her work on the landmark series Love My Way, is working with director Kim Farrant, whose feature-length documentary Naked on the Inside recently screened on the Sundance Channel in the US and the CBC in Canada.

The screenplay of Strangerland  has been well received, as a SPARK project in 2005 and a SPAAMart participant in 2006.

The Letter of Intent is expected to help pull the balance of the budget together for production in mid 2008 and Icon Films is on board as Aust/NZ distributor.
