Description
To say that the Australian film landscape was limited in the early 2000s would be a gross understatement. Much of the 90s Australian film industry was populated seminal drama films dripping with awards prestige. Occasionally Baz Luhrmann got one out the door or an American film production would come knocking, but long gone were the days of the rebels and exploitation directors of the 70s and 80s. That was until cinema goers worldwide came face-to-face with one of cinema's most ruthless killers: Mick Taylor in his debut film Wolf Creek. Join Holly and Matthew as they take a deep dive in to the creation of this modern Australian exploitation classic, and rant a lot about the state of the modern Australian film industry.
