The Curator, an indie drama exploring the delicate intersection of joy and grief, has officially wrapped filming in Brisbane and surrounding areas. The production, produced by Blue Lagoon Pictures, marks an exciting collaboration of emerging and established talent.
The film stars Byron Bay’s rising actor James Carson, who co-leads alongside Liv Bosshard (Steps, Swinging Safari) who also wrote and directed the project. Bosshard, recently returned from Vancouver and New York, bringing her global storytelling experience home, noting: “There really is no place like Australia, and I’m thrilled to bring a unique Aussie story to life with such an incredible cast and crew.”
Bosshard was joined by Beau Selwood as Director of Photography, whose work spans from Baz Luhrman’s Elvis, Mortal Kombat, Godzilla Vs Kong and Aquaman.
“What we pulled off with this film was pretty remarkable, we had a tonne of tricky scenes and shots,” said Beau. Beau’s impressive portfolio sets him up as a creative force to capture the film’s visual poetry and puts The Curator in an exciting position for an impressive film festival run.
The crew also featured underwater DOP Jay Button and Jellan Merlant from Clash Studio, as Creative Director, shaping the film’s distinctive ’90s aesthetic.
The cast also features veteran acting coach Rob Horton (Take My Hand, The Last Video Store), Jarrod Gildea (Chasing Lemons, Lucky Devil), David Tracy (Irreverent, Heart of The Man), and Chelsea Glaw, who previously starred alongside Jacob Elordi in Swinging Safari.
Filming took place at the renowned Lethbridge Gallery in Brisbane, as well as Beechmont, The Spit, and Mount Tamborine—locations that provided a visually stunning backdrop to the film’s emotional narrative.
