Epic Films and Madman Production Company have selected Marcus McKenzie.s The Projectionist for development as part of their Million Dollar Babies low budget feature film initiative, launched last year for South Australian writers and directors.
The decision follows on from a three-day development workshop in which six participants developed their feature film concepts and discussed the practical and commercial realities of production and distribution.
Each writer then expanded their initial concept into a feature film treatment, from which The Projectionist was selected.
McKenzie has recently completed post-production on a self-funded feature film, Crew Cut, a crime drama set in the heart of outback Australia. Previously he has written and directed several short films and music videos, and co-created the ABC iview series Wastelander Panda.
The Projectionist is an original time travel drama in which a recent widower, longing for the past, is transported into the home movies he shot 40 years ago.
