Storm Ashwood’s war thriller Escape and Evasion will be released on Netflix next month after the streamer negotiated a deal with production company Bronte Pictures.
The film follows a lone soldier (Josh McConville) who returns home in search of solace after his men are killed on a mission in Myanmar. Hiding a dark secret and confronted by an unrelenting journalist (Bonnie Sveen), he’s forced to face the ghosts of his past one last time.
The cast also includes Hugh Sheridan, Rena Owen, Steve Le Marquand and Firass Dirani.
Escape and Evasion was released theatrically last year via The Backlot Films after its world premiere at the 2019 Gold Coast Film Festival.
Despite being released just prior to the onset of Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of cinemas, the film still managed to garner acclaim, with Josh McConville winning Best Actor at the 2020 Veteran Film Awards, and Escape and Evasion...

Hugh Sheridan and Blake Northfield.
Back to the Rafters and Five Bedrooms star Hugh Sheridan plans to make his feature writing and directing debut on The Dance, a coming-of-age drama which follows a teenager who fulfills his dream of joining the Australian Ballet School.
Produced by Bronte Pictures’ Blake Northfield, the film will explore love, death, sexuality, drugs and loneliness set in the highly competitive world of theatre.
As a graduate of Nida, Vca and the Australian Ballet School, Sheridan says he could have set the story within any of these schools. He chose the Ballet School because he believes dancers are the most underrated athletes and artists in Australia.
“Writing The Dance has been an extremely cathartic experience for me and it was ultimately Covid lockdown that allowed me the time to pen a story that I’d had in me for many years,” says the actor/musician whose credits include House Husbands,...

‘Escape and Evasion.’
It’s an all too familiar story: Australian films open in a handful of cinemas with minimal marketing and publicity and audiences don’t go because they don’t know where or when these films are playing.
The latest examples are Storm Ashwood’s war thriller Escape and Evasion and Miranda Nation’s debut feature, relationships drama Undertow, which both launched last weekend.
Produced by Bronte Pictures’ Blake Northfield, Escape and Evasion stars Josh McConville as Seth, the sole survivor of a mission gone wrong. Bonnie Sveen is Rebecca, whose brother Josh (Hugh Sheridan) was one of the casualties.
Rebecca confronts Seth, who reports her to his Major (Rena Owen). Firass Dirani plays Welshy, one of four soldiers on the mission, with Steve Le Marquand as Carl, an ex-soldier who lives in Myanmar.

Blake Northfield and Heath Davis.
Writer-director Heath Davis and Bronte Pictures’ Blake Northfield are teaming up for Blood Red Sky, a feature inspired by the Australian bushfire crisis.
The pair intends to donate 25 per cent of the film’s profits to the rural fire services in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.
Due to shoot in Nsw and Queensland late this year, the narrative will follow a motley crew of volunteer firefighters and courageous locals who must overcome their personal and political differences when a bushfire threatens their picturesque country town.
Northfield aims to raise the budget from government agencies and international partners. Greg Apps will come on board as casting director. “We have very high expectations on cast,” says the producer, whose credits include Storm Ashwood’s thrillers The School and Escape and Evasion.
Rejecting any suggestion that the public has witnessed more than enough devastation either in person or on television,...

Levi Miller.
After playing kids in Red Dog: True Blue, A Wrinkle in Time, Jasper Jones and Pan, Levi Miller is set to take on his most mature role in writer-director Tyson Johnston’s debut feature Streamline.
Miller will play a 15-year-old swimming prodigy who self-destructs after his long absent father is released from jail.

Rena Owen.
When Rena Owen weighs up whether to accept roles, her main goal is to portray characters who are not the same as or similar to those she’s played before.
That maxim has served the Kiwi actress well in a screen career which spans 30 years since her debut in the Nz police series Shark in the Park.
Currently she is in Hobart playing yet another unique individual – Grace, who runs a community drop-in centre for wayward kids – in The Gloaming, an eight-part drama commissioned by Stan and Disney’s ABC Studios International.
Owen was in Vancouver getting ready to shoot the final episode of the second season of mermaid drama Siren, which screens on Disney’s young-adult Us cable network Freeform, when she was asked to audition for The Gloaming.
Her schedule was so hectic her initial response was that she had no time to do a self-test.

Pj Hogan.
Pj Hogan has set his next film: The Calligrapher, a comedy adapted from the debut novel by British writer Edward Docx.
Hogan is co-writing the screenplay with Docx and will direct the film to be shot in London late this year as a UK-Australian co-production.
The producers are Cecilia Cordeiro of UK-based Mgr Films and Bronte Pictures’ Blake Northfield, whose credits include Storm Ashwood’s thriller Escape and Evasion and his debut feature The School.
Published in 2003, the novel is described as a modern tale of sexual mores and city life involving spurned lovers, seduction, revenge and surprising secrets.

He is transcribing, for a wealthy client, 30 of John Donne’s Songs and Sonnets when he spies an aloof beauty outside his window. For the first time he falls helplessly in love. Eventually he gets his comeuppance.

‘The Coming Back Out Ball Movie.’
The final two Australian films released theatrically this year, Storm Ashwood’s The School and Sue Thomson’s The Coming Back Out Ball Movie have two things in common with numerous other Oz titles.
The Backlot Films launched both films on a handful of screens with minimal marketing – but the producers see the modest grosses as only a small part of the overall picture, alongside qualifying for the Producer Offset, overseas sales and festival exposure. Moreover, The Coming Back Out Ball Movie is expected to have a reasonably long life outside commercial cinemas.
Ashwood’s debut feature, a supernatural thriller which stars Megan Drury, Nicholas Hope, Will MacDonald, Texas Watterston and Milly Alcock, had a multi-platform release in the Us in October via Vertical Entertainment.

‘Ladies in Black.’
As the Australian feature films and feature docs released in cinemas this year have surpassed the calendar 2017 total exhibitors generally are happy with the diversity of product and the number of titles that have resonated with mainstream audiences.
While some say there have been too many niche and small-scale films, the consensus is that local films overall have held their own in a fragmented theatrical market and in the face of competition for eyeballs from the burgeoning Netflix and Stan.
Their outlook for 2019 is even more optimistic – if distributors and exhibitors are smart with their dating.
Through Wednesday, Oz films and feature docs including holdovers have racked up $54.2 million, according to the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia (Mpdaa), beating last year’s $49.4 million, which was a market share of 4.1 per cent.
So the industry will finish the year ahead of the 2009 total of $54.8 million. The stand-out...
