MK2 Films has boarded “Blaze,” the feature directorial debut of award-winning Australian painter Del Kathryn Barton, which stars Simon Baker (“High Ground”) and Julia Savage (“Sweet Tooth”).
Now in post-production, the film stars Savage as Blaze, a teenager who is the sole witness to a shocking crime. Struggling to make sense of what she saw, she unleashes the wrath of a dragon coming from her wild imagination. “Blaze” will combine live action with VFX and stop-motion animation techniques.
MK2 Films has acquired world sales rights to the film and is kicking off sales at Venice, where the banner is presenting Mounia Akl’s “Costa Brava, Lebanon” (with Participant and Endeavor Content) in the Horizons section.
Barton previously co-directed “The Nightingale and the Rose,” an animated short film based on an Oscar Wilde story that featured Barton’s illustrative style, with a voice cast headlined by Mia Wasikowska and Geoffrey Rush.

Simon Baker, Yael Stone, Josh Lawson and newcomer Julia Savage are among the key cast of director Del Kathryn Barton’s debut feature Blaze (formerly Puff), which recently wrapped shooting in Sydney.
Barton, a dual Archibald prize winner, wrote the script with Huna Amweero (Jade of Death), with the work inspired by Barton’s painting ‘sing blood-wings sing’, which was in turn inspired by Peter Paul and Mary song ‘Puff, the Magic Dragon’.
A hybrid work of live-action, VFX and animation, Blaze sees Savage plays a young girl who accidentally witnesses a woman being violently attacked, leaving her catatonic with shock and struggling to make sense of what she saw.
She retreats into imaginary worlds, where Zephyr, the shimmering magic dragon who has been her companion since childhood, allows her to activate her own rage and ultimately find renewal.
Also starring are Morgan Davies, Bernie Van Tiel, Remy Hii, John Waters,...

More than two years after its debut at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, Burden has finally come to theaters. After a surprisingly long wait, especially considering how the movie took home an award at Sundance, has it been worth the wait? Well, that’s a complicated questions. At times, the film is compelling, with high quality acting. At other points, however, the writing and direction can’t stack up to the performances. The end result is a flick with something to say, but a muddled way of saying it. Unfortunately, it won’t result in a recommendation here, though it’s undoubtedly not without its charms. This film is a drama, based on a true story, that looks at the impact that racist views can have on an individual. Set in a small South Carolina town, we meet Mike Burden (Garrett Hedlund), a repo man who also happens to be a...

A short film starring Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Jacki Weaver, and directed by Alexandra Schepisi will have its Australian premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Lois is about a woman who, after receiving a long-awaited letter, is driven to address unfinished business. It is produced by Rachel Higgins and shot by cinematographer Jeremy Rouse, with funding by Screen Australia.
The film also stars Greek actor Yannis Totsikas who was cast in Tony Krawitz’s Dead Europe, also to screen at Miff.
Schepisi said: “I have always been a big fan of magic realism and love the creative depth it allows. It is the perfect medium to be able to explore the limitless capacity of love and the agony that it can cause. I wanted to create a film that stays ahead of the audience so that they might go on a journey with Lois, without knowing what...

New Zealand supermarket New World has launched a series of TV ads as part of a brand offensive.
The idea behind the ads is that peoples’ moods, occasions, relationships and even the weather affect what and how we eat.
The ads were shot by director Patrick Hughes of Finch who used a variety of cameras – a 35mm, anamorphic, 16mm on a Bolex, digital HD and an iPhone, mixed in with stock footage.
To complement the different stories, three individual music tracks were used, including an original recording of a 1928 blues standard, Fishin’ Blues by Henry Thomas.

Men’s underwear brand Stoneman is courting controversy with an interactive video in which a woman masturbates next to an image of the viewer’s face.
The raunchy interactive video (possibly Nsfw) allows the user to upload of a photo of themselves, which is then used in the video.
The video leads the user to Stonemen’s website and gives them the option to buy some Stonemen underwear.
The campaign was developed by Arnold Furnace.
A censured version is running as a teaser campaign.
Paul Fenton, joint national creative director of Arnold Furnace told Mumbrella: “We pushed it as hard as we could. The client was up for taking as many risks as possible. It was one of those things where we wanted to make an impact and not die wondering what could have been.”
The clip on YouTube aims to tease and push users to create the interactive ad campaign themselves.

Tea brand Tetley has launched a female-targeted campaign in which a woman leaves her husband to make a cup of tea.
The campaign for the Tata Global Beverages brand – the first for Clemenger Bbdo Melbourne – aims to break away from a ‘world of cosy bliss and escapism’ and pay homage to women.
Anthony Keogh, Ecd of Clems Melbourne said: “It seemed like nobody was really acknowledging tea for what it is. It’s not a big fix or a magical escape. It simply gives you a few minutes of courage, before you get back out there.”
While the first ad, entitled ‘Leaving’ focuses on Tetley’s flagship black tea, following ads will showcase chai latte and fruit and herbal ranges.
The campaign will be supported by print.

An ad promoting the use of Eftpos rather than the use of credit has won Mumbrella’s March Ad of the Month.

Eftpos has launched a new campaign led by a TV ad that positions Aussies as controllers of their own spending.
The campaign by M&C Saatchi sees regular Australians portrayed as kings or queens of their financial destiny with Eftpos encouraging consumers to pay with their own money, rather than rely on credit.
The positioning comes as 73% of Australians with credit cards continue to roll over their balances each month to pay interest, the campaign claims.
