GHOST RIVER STATION FEATURE FILM

Bigger and Better Productions are proud to announce they have acquired the rights for Ghost River Station, written by well known historian Dr Tony Matthews.  Loosely based on the history of that region, the story is a hauntingly beautiful saga that combines love lost and love regained with a history of tragedy. 

The story dates back to the Aboriginal massacres of the 1860's and continues on through a history of bloodshed that seemed to be attracted to the homestead. Ethan, a writer who is desperate to escape from what he feels is the calustrophobic conditions of modern life, decides the homestead is the perfect setting to focus on his latest novel. His appearance however disturbs and awakens the fragile balance, and he finds himself inter-twined in a story where fact is much stranger than fiction.

The production is currently in development, and is scheduled to start filming March 2013, which is neatly slotted between The Laundryman and Lucky Valentine. It will be filming in northern Queensland.  Production Company: Bigger and Better Productions, Producer: Ramona Rai, Consultant Producer: Dr Tony Matthews, contact Bigger and Better Productions for more information.  Positions are now open for key crew submissions.

LUCKY VALENTINE Feature Film

Bigger and Better Productions are proud to announce the acquisition of the feature film Lucky Valentine, which is set to star some of Australia's best known iconic actors as well as some acclaimed US stars. 

The story is guaranteed to have even the toughest critics wiping away tears and brings back the lovable Australian larrikin image that has been neglected in recent film history...

On one side of the world, an American Baseball player faces losing his coveted team position because of his over inflated ego and womanising ways. On the other side of the world, in a tiny outback Australian town, a little girl is dying and they need a way to help her family stay by her side. He needs redemption, at least in the eyes of the press, and they need money. A 20/20 cricket match appears to solve both their problems, and the worlds collide with hilarious and heart-warming consequences.

Lucky Valentine is currently in development, with filming scheduled to begin early 2013.

"THE SET" BY ROGER WARD

Described in glowing terms by film industry greats like Quentin Tarrantino and Brian Trenchard Smith, Australian actor Roger Ward is an icon in both film and television.

Probably best known as "Fifi" the chrome domed shirtless police chief in the original Mad Max, his career includes television favourites Homicide, Matlock Police and Division 4, and cult movies like Turkey Shoot and Man from Hong Kong. His film, "The Set" was a cult hit of the early 70's, the first non exploitive look at the gay community.

Now the long awaited novel by the same name has finally hit the bookshelves, and it is rumoured to be in the hands of Hollywood executives with George Clooney as a possible lead.

The enigmatic Roger Ward is going to be in Brisbane August 25/26th to personally autograph copies of the book and talk about his amazing career, starting with a meet and greet party on the 25th and a luncheon on the 26th. Both events are raising money for charity.

Numbers are strictly limited. For further details email theset@biggerandbetterproductions.com or info@biggerandbetterproductions.com
