A range of digital, documentary, and feature productions are among the beneficiaries of a new funding round from Film Victoria, which will see $3.9 million go towards 12 productions.
The projects are expected to inject $39.8 million into the Victorian economy and generate 1,749 job opportunities.
Among the projects announced are documentaries such as Danny Ben-Moshe’s Revenge: My Dad The Nazi Killer; Lachlan Mcleod’s After Trauma, and Duy Huynh’s How To Thrive, and previously announced features such as Paul Goldman’s Kid Snow, Alena Lodkina’s Petrol, and Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail.
The investment extends to the third season of Lilydale Films’ popular Lgbtiqa+ YouTube series Flunk, which is currently filming in Melbourne.
Flunk follows 16-year-old Ingrid, as she starts to explore her sexuality while dealing with the pressures of a country high school and conservative Chinese-Australian family.
The series has amassed 50 million views and 200,000 subscribers since its...

The successful teams have begun development workshops for their ideas this week, taking guidance from writer, director, and producer Julie Kalceff (Common Language Films), writer, actor and producer Tim Spencer (Wintergarden Pictures), and web series producer Melanie Rowland (Lilydale Films).
The projects range from ancient covens of mystical characters to explorations of disability, diverse and Indigenous queer identities.
Screenwest interim talent and skills development manager Chantal Chateauneuf said the organisers had been “so impressed” with the originality and creativity of the applications they had received.
