Screenwriter/Producer Fiona Sprott (ProSeries 25) has received funding from the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) to make her feature, THE DEAD SPEAK BACK.
The Dead Speak Back is a darkly comic, mysterious exploration of the possibility of communication between the living and the dead. The story is being written as they shoot, following a series of narrative threads that will blend together in the editing room.
Fiona was originally brought onto the SAFC’s FilmLab initiative to shoot a short film. After impressing the FilmLab’s committee during three weeks of non-stop filming, the SAFC decided to grant Fiona’s team the funds and resources to shoot a full feature-length film.
The project is a collaboration between Unreasonable Films (Fiona) and Julie Byrne of Velvet Orange Productions. The SAFC will be Executive Producers. Julie will produce. Jason Sweeney will direct. Fiona will receive “Written by” credit.
Congratulations to Fiona, Jason, and Julie. Very exciting process.
