Iconic Aussie actor David Wenham is bringing his feature film, Ellipsis, to the Gold Coast on Thursday, February 8, for a special Q&A screening.
Presented by the Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) and Gold Coast Film Festival, the screening will see the acclaimed actor, writer, director and producer joined by executive producer Rob Connelly at The Arts Centre Gold Coast for the event.
Conceived, workshopped and shot all in 10 days with just two main cast and four on set crew, Ellipsis takes the audience on a night of adventure after the chance meeting of two strangers, Jasper (Benedict Samuel) and Viv (Emily Barclay), whose accidental meeting sets in motion a chain of events that sees them embark on a night of adventure and connection that challenges their separate lives.
“David’s visit is a great opportunity for filmmakers and film lovers alike to find out more about the creative processes of one of the industry’s most acclaimed actors,” said Gold Coast Film Festival director Lucy Fisher. “Given the unique nature of the creation of Ellipsis, it will be interesting to get an insight into how the film was made and the challenges David experienced along the way.
The event serves as an advance prelude for the annual Gold Coast Film Festival, which runs from Tuesday, April 17 until Sunday, April 29.
Tickets for the Q&A screening of Ellipsis are available to purchase from Friday, January 19 here.
