The writer/director and producer duo of an Australian short film which screened in competition at the 2005 Venice Film Festival are looking to create a feature version of the story.
Leon Ford, writer and director of Griff the Invisible, told Encore he and producer Nicole O’Donohue are currently shopping a feature version of their short The Mechanicals at various international film markets.
Ford said: “We started in Cinemart in Rotterdam and we went to Ifm in New York, where we had great responses. Also Nicole was in Cannes recently. It’s just about keeping up a presence.”
The duo have secured international sales agents Paris and New York-based Memento Films, who worked with Cate Shortland on Lore.
The Mechanicals is about factory workers who secretively work within the walls of houses, operating everyday appliances.
O’Donohue produced Griff the Invisible as well as Ford’s short Katoomba and Nash Edgerton’s Spider.
