Sometimes, to get a film noticed, you need to recruit some serious talent. Micah Chua spoke with the creators of Lou, Belinda Chayko and Helen Bowden, about how British legend John Hurt ended up being part of their family drama.
Lou is the second feature film by Belinda Chayko after City Loop, produced by Matchbox Pictures’ Tony Ayres, Helen Bowden, Michael McMahon and executive producer Liz Watts (Porchlight Films).
The film tells the story of Lou, the daughter in a struggling family living in rural Nsw trying desperately to make ends meet. The family bond is tested when Alzheimer’s patient and Lou’s grandfather Doyle is dumped under their care.
Lou evolved from a script that Chayko wrote as a master’s degree project at the University of Western Sydney, but the process was not an easy one.

LONDON -- It has been done with pop stars, wannabe rock acts and West End musical divas, and now the U.K. is trying to find movie stars from among the great unwashed.
Platformed on social networking site MySpace and backed by British production banner Vertigo Films and Film4, the filmmaking arm of U.K. broadcaster Channel 4, the MyMovie MashUp is "hoping to uncover new acting talent in the way new artists and musicians have been discovered on the site."
Tuesday saw the launch of a nationwide talent search for stars for its first movie titled Faintheart, billed as a romantic comedy about the lives of a group of people who re-enact Viking battles as a hobby.
Casting for the lead roles in the film will take place via MySpace at MySpace.com/mymoviemashup, with wannabe celluloid stars asked to upload a video of themselves acting out one of the roles from the film.
Eight parts are available as outlined on the film's MySpace profile, and the project's casting director, Gary Davy, said the idea gives "professional and amateur actors an unprecedented level of access to the industry."
Video auditions must be uploaded to the site by Sept.
