The future of film production in South Australia relies on developing the next generation of filmmaking talent and SA FilmLab provides a wonderful means to do this.SAFC Chair, Cheryl Bart
Inner Demon, the third low budget feature film from SAFC’s bespoke FilmLab program will commence its four week shoot from 30 January.
Produced by Julie Byrne and Sue Brown and written and directed by Ursula Dabrowsky, the Horror/Supernatural feature will shoot entirely on location in South Australia at Eden Hills, Kuitpo Forest and Meadows (bar 3 studio days).
Inner Demon is the second instalment in Dabrowsky’s Demon Trilogy after Family Demons (2009). A supernatural revenge horror about a young teenage girl Sam Durelle, who is the victim of a brutal kidnapping. She finds refuge in an isolated farm house only to discover it is home to greater horrors and also a malevolent spirit. Trapped in the house, Sam is propelled into a struggle for survival, one that will push her to the limits not only physically and emotionally, but spiritually.
Starring Andreas Sobik (Look Both Ways, Ten Empty), Kerry Reid (Family Demons, Rain Shadow), and newcomer Sarah Jeavons as Sam, all lead cast members are South Australian. In fact, an important point about the film is that it is almost entirely local with all key creatives, cast, crew, equipment, music, and post-production South Australian.
“We are excited and proud to have secured a virtually 100% SA production team for Inner Demon. The exceptional cast and crew are going above and beyond to get the best from what is a great horror screenplay by Ursula Dabrowsky, despite the significant budget challenges faced by all. We are confident Inner Demon will deliver the goods to horror genre fans.”
“I am very excited to be working with such an incredibly talented South Australian cast and crew and am confident we are making a film that will put Adelaide on the horror map” said writer/director,Ursula Dabrowsky.
The production is also supporting Mojgan Khadem in training a new Continuity crew member for the benefit of SA with Bev Freeman providing specialised training for her SFX Makeup and Costume teams, bringing further benefit to the state.
FilmLab provides professional and career development opportunities for South Australian Filmmakers through an intensive and bespoke development program culminating in the production of low budget films.
