Support film inspired by robbery
MAREEBA Drive-In will host a double-feature screening showcasing Far North Queensland filmmaking talent on Sunday.
The event will feature two films by FNQ writer/director Danial Donái, Deep Red Water and The Night Flyers, alongside a live project launch for a new feature film inspired by the unsolved 1973 Rail Motor 1819 Kuranda Train Robbery.
Organised as a public showcase and fundraiser, the event will support the development of the upcoming FNQ-set action thriller John the Revelator, which draws directly from the Kuranda rail robbery case and is currently in concept production to secure Australian and USA feature financing.
The event will include period motorcycles and picture vehicles, character and prop displays tied to the true-story production and live music from local performer Corinda Christie and Band.
The event will be on Sunday, with gates opening at 5.30pm and screenings starting at 7pm. Tickets are $25 per vehicle.
