William McInnes and Monic Hendrickx star in Unfinished Sky
Principal photography has begun in the Queensland town of Beaudesert on the Australian romantic thriller Unfinished Sky.
Unfinished Sky stars one of Australia most popular actors William McInnes (Look Both Ways, SeaChange, My Brother Jack) and one of Holland’s cinema greats Monic Hendrickx (The Moving True Story of a Woman Ahead of her Time) in a powerful love story with a thriller twist.
The film is directed by Peter Duncan (Children of the Revolution, Passion, Hell Has Harbour Views). Producers are Cathy Overett and Anton Smit for New Holland Pictures. Executive Producers are Mark Overett and San Fu Maltha, with Hanneke Niens as Co-Producer. The script is by Peter Duncan based on a screenplay by Kees van der Hulst.
William McInnes stars as a man who, after the suspicious death of his wife, has withdrawn to the seclusion of his farm. Monic Hendrickx plays an illegal refugee Tahmeena. In her bid for freedom from the ravages of Afghanistan, Tahmeena has found herself unwittingly sold in to sex slavery in a small country town in South West Queensland.
When the paths of these two damaged people cross, neither wants the other in their life. Despite their resistance, they fall deeply in love, recovering their faith in themselves and their trust in humanity.
International sales for Unfinished Sky are through Fortissimo and the film will be distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Palace Films, in Benelux by A-Film and by Queen Imperial in Indonesia. Other investors are the Film Finance Corporation Australia, the Pacific Film & Television Commission, the Dutch Film Fund and Cutting Edge Post.
Producer Cathy Overett said: 'Unfinished Sky explores universal themes of rural decline and illegal immigration through our two heroes. It’s a poetic love story wrapped around a thriller element that will resonate with audiences around the world.'
Benjamin Zeccola, Palace Films said: 'We are very proud to be involved with this beautiful and moving love story. It has an experienced director and an impressive cast and we look forward to releasing it late 2007/early 2008.'
