Mitzi Ruhlmann.
Mitzi Ruhlmann was five years old when she saw Phillip Noyce’s Stolen Generation drama Rabbit-Proof Fence, perhaps not an ideal experience for someone so young, but it had a profound impact.
From that moment on she was determined to become an actor, not a far-fetched ambition for a girl who spent a lot of time on film and TV sets watching her dad, cinematographer Danny Ruhlmann, at work.
(Ruhlmann Senior’s credits include the features The Nugget, The Night We Called It a Day and Little Fish and, most recently, the Netflix series Messiah, created by Aussie Michael Petroni and co-directed by Kate Woods, and Jupiter’s Legacy.)
Last month the 21-year-old came home after seven months in La auditioning for numerous roles. She’ll go back in February for pilot season.
Since she was 12 she has had a manager in the Us, Jennifer Gabler Rawlings, whom she...

All that is in the service of his most personal project, the feature documentary Pgs (Personal Guidance System) the Film.
Bennett, whose credits include Backlash, Spider & Rose, Kiss or Kill and The Nugget, embarked on a quest to understand what intuition is, where it comes from, and how to tap into it after a near-death experience.
.Several years ago I would have died in a car crash, if not for a flash of intuition,. he says. .In the end, I just want to know what saved my life.

An Indian astrologer told filmmaker Bill Bennett in Mumbai in September that he will make untold wealth and live like a king if he spends at least 15 days in Dallas.
Dr. Bimal Bhatt did not explain how this miraculous upturn in Bennett.s life would occur, only that he would be exposed to divine cosmic rays.
Bennett, who believes in intuition, is flying to Los Angeles on November 16 and onto Dallas on November 23, where he will carry no money and stay in a cheap motel, as Bhatt advised.
He will film those 15 days for a documentary, The Texas Cosmic Rays Experiment. The docu might be a special feature on the DVD of another docu he is making, or a separate stand-alone.
Bhatt, a lawyer and astrologer for 35 years, told Bennett he would make bold decisions and that a vast amount of money, anywhere from $1 million to $1 billion, would come to him.

Right back to early cult classics Wake in Fright, Razorback and Roadgames, Australian films have loved grabbing bright-eyed tourists and putting them in extreme danger.
Now, thanks to the more recent success of Wolf Creek and Black Water, "tourists-in-peril" is now an entire Aussie genre and the next few years promises to give audiences a bucketload of terrifying movies that pit travellers against all sorts of craziness in the outback.
The latest entry in the genre is Uninhabited - from seasoned director Bill Bennett (The Nugget, Kiss or Kill), who may not consistently make quality but at least consistently makes movies - and we have the new poster!
And who says you can't work a Zoolander quote into everything you do?...
