T-BIRD & THE ISLAND OF LOST CATS

A CINEMA FEATURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

A wonderful mix of adventure, mystery, mayhem and magic. 

Set north of Sydney and featuring the lush growth of the Northern Beaches and the splendour of the Pacific Ocean this story unravels at a frantic pace as T-BIRD desperately tries to save her beloved cat (AVIS).

T-BIRD is an 12 year old girl living with her two Aunties in an idyllic seaside home. She has limited magic power and is forced into conflict with her Aunt LAVINIA who is much more accomplished in the art of magic.

Unbeknownst to anyone LAVINIA is kidnapping all the cats in the area and imprisoning them on Lion Island. She is draining the lives out of the cats to create a youth elixir. She is also trying to build a horrendous resort on the island which has been bequeathed to T-Bird as a nature reserve.

Following clever detective work by T-BIRD and her best friend REX, a search of the mysterious forest on the island reveals the missing cats, lying bewitched in the tree tops, caught in a magical silken web. When REX disappears T- BIRD has to summon the courage to brave the wind, waves and wild waters to save both him and AVIS. Using her flying rug and all the magic at her disposal T-BIRD rescues REX, AVIS and hundreds of cats, while at the same time dispatching the evil LAVINIA.

This is a fabulous story that will intrigue the young and the young at heart.

Written by Tonia Stangherlin, who is an exciting new Australian writer, the film is a clever mixture of live action and CGI.

Available – One Sheet and Full Script.

Series.

The characters:

HermesHermes, (the central protagonist) is a zany, original thinker born of Bakelite and Steam. While he doesn’t have all the answers, it’s his job to elicit curiosity. He cuts a swathe through the tangled forest of impossibility, because...

Hermes

Wingnut – alongside Hermes twirls his faithful assistant - the information-sponge-molecule, brimful of innocence and questions, with a heart warmer than a freshly baked cake on Grandma’s windowsill.

UNLEASHED

8 HOUR TV MINI SERIES

There are crims, colourful identities, sports heroes, politicians, lenders of last resort, businessmen, call girls, clubbers, hardmen, hitmen and tough madams.

None of these characters are in “Unleashed”.

We are dealing with seriously interesting people who should, by rights, have never even met each other but coincidently they do all have one thing in common. They take their dogs to a quiet place by the sea. Reinvented as a place for artistic endeavour, it is public parkland blessed with a tiny coffee shop. Our characters arrive in the morning, unleash their dogs – the dogs run and bark, sniff and snuffle, strut and cower, check each other out, fight, brawl, steal, doublecross, attempt copulation – As do our characters  -  who are “interesting” people with too much time on their hands.

A character based mini along the lines of “Bookclub” meets “Six Feet Under”. It is a mini that will deliver episodes of fun, pathos, desire and depravity.

Great adult TV drama.
