THE REEF BLOG

Hi all, 

Just back from Cannes and the UK.  "The Reef" was received really, really well, and we've already been invited to Sitges Film Festival in Spain & the Fantasy Film Festival in Germany, along with numerous other festivals that have expressed interest as well. Fingers crossed that we get into Toronto Midnight Madness!

The movie is selling well too - keep an eye out for some announcements coming soon. 

Cannes was a blast!   A feeding frenzy of ideas, hope and talent - our sharks fitted in nicely. Now it's about getting the word out here in Oz for what looks like a November release.

My last film "Black Water" was very well received and got theatrical releases around the world, but due to the distribution deals here in Australia was hardly seen. So the big push now as well is to make sure "The Reef" gets seen here at home in the land of the SHARKS!

Cheers, 
Andrew 

Day 20.  Back in the water.  What looked like a calm, still day on dry land proved to be a bit rougher once we got out in the open ocean. Each day has presented its own unique water challenges, and today was no different.  A few of the crew got sea-sick in the rough water, but carried on like the troopers they are.  We also filmed some scenes at one of the Marinas as well as on board our boat "Boomerang".

We've had a few press set visits this past week with photographers and writers - they seem to have liked what they saw.  Keep an eye out for some press in coming weeks.  Big thanks to Empire (www.empireonline.com.au) & Fangoria (www.fangoria.com) magazines for coming on set to check out what we're doing - their reports will run closer to the release of the movie.
