Their maiden production was The Housemate, an affectionate take on The Bachelor. They spent several thousand dollars of their own money to make a 4-minute teaser, in which they played friends who are searching for the housemate of their dreams, posted it online and got 260,000 views in the first week.
So they sent the teaser to Rick Kalowski, then the ABC’s head of comedy, who called them within 30 minutes and quickly commissioned a series of 6 x 5′ episodes for iview.

I was in the United States at Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival with our feature Dark Whispers – Volume 1 (produced by myself and Leonie Marsh) when the Covid shutdowns escalated. The festival was abandoned midway in after the mayor shut down the city’s large events, leaving festival staff, audiences and of course the filmmakers from around the world shell shocked and stranded in San Jose. We were lucky and got to screen some of our sessions but others now have films without an official premiere and at a loss of what to do about their release strategy.

Sleeping Beauty Emily Browning Nude Scenes Video. The Sleeping Beauty (2011) Emily Browning nude scenes video from the Julia Leigh directed film showcases what I assume to be all or the majority of the scenes in the film where Emily Browning is in a state of underdress. Sleeping Beauty‘s plot synopsis: “Death-haunted, quietly reckless, Lucy (Emily Browning) is a young university student who takes a job as a Sleeping Beauty. In the Sleeping Beauty Chamber old men seek an erotic experience that requires Lucy’s absolute submission. This unsettling task starts to bleed into Lucy’s daily life and she develops an increasing need to know what happens to her when she is asleep.”
We previously posted the Sleeping Beauty (2011) Movie Trailer.
Sleeping Beauty also stars Rachael Blake, Michael Dorman, Mirrah Foulkes, Ewen Leslie, Nathan Page, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Henry Nixon, Joel Tobeck, Chris Haywood, Les Chantery, James Fraser, and Lauren Orrell.
