South Australia’s Film Lab: New Voices initiative, which serves as the flagship low-budget feature film program, has given the green light to its second production.
Since its launch in 2021, the Film Lab: New Voices initiative has accelerated several careers in the screen industry. The first film to receive the green light for production, the sci-fi thriller Monolith, had its international premiere at the prestigious SXSW (South by Southwest) Festival in Austin, Texas this year, following its world premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival in 2022. The film has since been acquired by Well Go USA for distribution in the US and has gained attention for its talented team, including writer Lucy Campbell, director Matt Vesely, and producer Bettina Hamilton. Monolith is slated for release in Australian cinemas in late October 2023.
