Our Story

 

 

After graduating from The Actors Workshop where we studied under the tutelage of Kinetone Lifetime Award winning acting coach Lyn Kidd, we (Daniel Green and Jesse Richardson) had a vision to revolutionise the Australian Film Industry. 

This vision was to foster a self-sustaining film industry in Australia by creating high revenue mainstream movies that will support the funding of further projects.  Our end goal is to get the Australian cinema-going public to watch Australian cinema.

With actors such as Sylvester Stallone writing the inspirational classic Rocky and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Good Will Hunting the precedent had been set to write our own meaningful film that not only breaks through the current stigma attached to Australian films but uplifts, inspires and entertains the cinema-going masses.

One Good Summer is a feature film about a 29-year-old man and his pursuit to embrace life when faced with the reality of a terminal illness. The film captures the beauty of Australia’s iconic landmarks as Ethan Dowsett and his three best friends embark on a road trip down the east coast of Australia to fulfill a lifelong dream before its too late. This touching, often tragic feel-good movie takes viewers on an uplifting journey as they witness Ethan and his friends discover how to let go, live in the moment and experience One Good Summer.  


 

 

 

The Impact

 

Through this movie, we hope to engage our audience with an entertaining and uplifting feel-good experience that will inspire them to make the most of their own lives as the characters do in their pursuit of One Good Summer.

And from this, we hope that we are able to reignite the public’s passion for Australian cinema and build a foundation for a sustainable film industry.

The success of One Good Summer will allow for the Australian cinema-going dollar to stay in the country as well as create consistent work opportunities for both actors and production crew. 

Like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck before us, we hope that this film will also be a platform for launching our own successful film careers.


 

What We Need

To launch the production of One Good Summer we will require $100 000 AUD.

The money raised will be used to:

  • Engage production crew including Director, Producer, Cinematography, Lighting and Sound Technicians and other cast members
  • Secure location rentals
  • Purchase/lease camera/lighting/sound equipment
  • Develop and distribute promotional material
  • Pitch to agencies such QPIX and Screen Australia for additional requisite funding
  • Purchase/lease essential props and wardrobe items
  • Provide on-set catering.

As lead actors in the proposed feature film we are willing to work for free because that’s how much we believe in this project. If we are unable to reach the required $100k we will use the raised money to produce a trailer/short film as a vehicle to gain mainstream funding.
