Director Eddie White is best known for writing and co-directing 2009.s The Cat Piano, an eight-and-a-half-minute marvel narrated by Nick Cave and shortlisted for best animated short at the Oscars alongside films by Pixar and Aardman.
White and co-director Ari Gibson made the short at The People.s Republic of Animation, the company White founded with high-school friends in Adelaide while studying acting at Flinders University.
The shingle was eventually bought by video game developer Halfbrick Studios (creators of Fruit Ninja), but White had already moved on, in 2012, as the company began to specialise in video games and apps..
.I chose to go freelance, because I just wanted to make films at that stage, and I could see that wasn.t the business model for them,. he said.
White spent a couple of years developing an animated feature with Gibson which never got off the ground, as well as churning out short animations on commission.

Wolf Creek and Django Unchained.s John Jarratt has written and plans to star in an Aussie comedy Western.
The title, Passing Winds, epitomises the irreverent approach. That's the name of a cattle property owned by Jarratt.s character. Craig McLachlan has agreed to play the bad guy who aims to gain control of the land which is rich in untapped gold. Steve Bisley will play a bounty hunter.
Jarratt describes the tone as a cross between Blazing Saddles and Crocodile Dundee. He will produce the film with Kris Maric and Craig Kocinski, his partners in production company Ozpix Entertainment.
No director has yet been signed but Jarratt would love to hire someone of the calibre of Mel Gibson, having admired his work in the Richard Donner-directed Maverick opposite Jodie Foster-- although he doubts Mel would be willing to spend six months in Oz working on the film.

Wolf Creek star John Jarratt is directing his first feature, StalkHer, a gritty black comedy in which he co-stars with Kaarin Fairfax, on the Gold Coast.
Directing oneself can.t be easy but the degree of difficulty is even greater here because Jarratt.s character is tied to a chair for most of the film.
The screenplay is by Kris Maric, who is partnered with Craig Kocinski and Jarratt in production company Ozpix Entertainment.
Maric likens the plot to an Australian version of Misery meets Who.s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Jarratt.s character breaks into Fairfax.s house with evil intent and the tables are turned numerous times.
.It.s a cat-and-mouse game where you are not sure who is the cat and who is the mouse,. she tells If from the set at the Village Roadshow Studios. Shooting started last Friday.
The executive producer is former Roadshow and Disney executive Alan Finney,...
