Screen Machine is proudly hosting the launch of the Addiction trailer - produced by Keep It Reel. The trailer is designed to showcase the concept and style of the feature film project and attract investment.
The brainchild of Mark Aquilina, and inspired by 1970s American 'anti-hero' crime films (e.g. Death Wish, Dirty Harry) and Hong Kong crime / action movies of the 80s, Addiction is a gritty, action-packed vigilante film with an intriguing premise, complex characters and ballistic action!
Screen Machine will be showing the newly completed trailer, as well as the making-of documentary: Dealing With Addiction. The in-production and 'behind the scenes' photo galleries will be showing during intermission. |

Growing Brain and 3am Studios will be using the event to say thank you to all who played a part in the making of The Grey Cloud. |

Created for Melbourne band SIR earlier this year - this music clip has already screened on RAGE, been ranked very favourably in play order and has received much very positive feedback.
While the album with which it is associated (The Brando Room) has been launched, the Men Who Lie clip had never been given a public send-off, until now!

The Film centers on a man at a loose end - his life has become a mere accumulation of habit. Then he comes across an advertisement for a mysterious book called ‘The Manual' – that offers to answer all his questions...
This will be the first public screening of this short film (outside of it's own launch). Completed late last year, this magical and understated film is the first Growing Brain project to be shot on HDV while using 35mm Prime film lenses.
