Was lucky to be apart of one with some great people and today it is out for the public! Check it out on YouTube here https://youtu.be/u61YkuIZ3BI?si=gCri-QgmY66P2rLX

An award-winning short film 🎬 based on an infamous 1932 Cloncurry bank robbery has officially been released online, after spending the past few years screening at film festivals across Australia and overseas 🌏

The Bank Manager, created by local siblings Luke and Madeleine Chaplain through Quamby Studios, reimagines the legendary tale of local farmers who allegedly robbed two banks in one night… and were never caught 💰

🏆The film has already screened at major festivals including St Kilda and Flickerfest, picking up awards for People’s Choice and Best Queensland Short along the way.

Producer Luke Chaplain said thr story had been part of life growing up on a cattle station outside Cloncurry.

“We grew up at the dinner table listening to this legendary tale,” he said.

🎥🐂The short film was shot on location around Cloncurry, including scenes filmed on the Chaplain family property and at Chinaman Creek Dam

Luke said while the project started as a passion project from the bush, Quamby Studios now has plans for future productions, including a feature documentary and hopes one day to turn The Bank Manager into a full-length feature film.

And for young people in regional areas dreaming about creative careers… he had a message:

“Everyone’s got a story to tell… so go for it.”

The Bloke Who Built Brisbane

Hotmail dial-up. Bush reality. Absolute chaos.

Knuckles sits down with Beau & Jordan for one of the loosest yarns yet, from growing up on reality TV to calling out fake country blokes, and pitching the most cooked mining dating show Australia’s ever (not) seen.

It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from three blokes who’ve lived it.

Crack a tin and press play 🍻

Deadloch Season 2 is out on Amazon Prime 🐊 Was fortunate enough join the cast of Season 2 as Barra Creek local Rabbit on this incredible Aussie series. Plenty of dusty late night plane rides on the red eye going back and forth to Darwin over a couple of months. Was a great time with absolute legends of the game. If you want a good laugh make sure you give it a look!
