Dace is all the rage
February 2012
Our debut feature film, 'Dace Decklan: Private Eye', is opening the 10th Angry Film Festival on Tuesday February 28th. Now an institution in the Melbourne independent film scene, the Angry Film Festival celebrates emerging and established filmmakers from Australia and around the world.
And the founder of the festival, the irrepressible Mr Tom Vogel, just so happens to be the star and co-producer of Dace. Well, well, small world. But lest any murmurs of favouritism and cronyism do the rounds, we can absolutely guarantee and warranty that you any link between Tom starring in the Dace and the film screening at Angry is non-existent.
Dace made the Angry Film Festival purely on merit ....
[Insert Evil cackle hear while stroking a fluffy white pussy cat]
Come check out Dace pretty party people. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why oh why!
8pm, Tuesday 28th February Revolt Productions 12 Elizabeth St, Kensington

Model Mayhem
January 2012Here's a nice one to kick off the year. Upcoming Melbourne model Natasha Juravić poses and works the camera in various outfits, each sexier than the last.
Shot at the Berlin Bar and cut to a bouncing track by local band Jupiters Bonzai, this was a fun little project all round, the team together again for some party time!
And what a team it is. Check out the video below and enjoy. We think it's kinda sort of pretty awesome. Photos on the right courtesy of Mr Russell Boyd. He's pretty awesome too.
And don't forget to visit Natasha's own website to see more of this lovely young lady.

'Tis the Season
December 2011
Well hello Grandpa Simpson my old friend, that time is just about upon us, another year coming to a close, Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, enjoy the festivities, NPG certainly will because what a big year it has been in football!
Er, film.
Dace is done, our first feature film, two years in the making, and now the fun begins as we seek distribution and festival screenings in 2012.
MIM was a rip-roaring (and may I add barnstorming too?) success with around 450 people attending the festival over three days to share the love for fantastic local films.
And so many projects, so much variety, so many lovely people met and friends made and stories shared and, gosh, it just makes us all warm and fuzzy inside!
But 'tis is the season after all. Cheers to 2011 and here's to 2012, looking forward to it already, plans and projects underway, love you all, people, love you all!

Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince
November 2011Okay, the title is a little misleading. Rather than the long-awaited and highly anticpated comeback from everybody's favourite Bel Air duo, we would like to introduce another jazzy duo, equally dynamic, one Amanda Meadows & Alexander Nettelbeck.
This is a performance promo we produced and edited for the fine musicians and we think it turned out pretty nifty. In fact, it lead to them securing Instinct Music as an agent. Goal achieved :-)
It was an interesting challenge, recording live music, then replicating the performances for different angles, but thanks to some great work by our team (DOP Scott Edwards, Sound Recordist Paul Ermer, Sound Mix Sean O'Sullivan) the results are very rewarding.
Check out the video below.

M.I.A & M.I.M November 2011Man, seems we have been away from this website for a long time! Apologies dedicated fans (all three of you) but we have been such incredibly busy little bees. Saving the world and taming sea lions and leaping steaming locomotives in a single bound like Captain Planet ... Well, actually, promos and shoots and films and festivals - the usual platter of assorted goodies.
Dace Decklan, our first eighty-minute feature film, is just about done.
El Western, our latest twenty-five minute short film, is just about done.
And both culminate at our festival, Made In Melbourne, which is only a few shorts weeks away!
Hectic times at NPG but good times my friends. Check out the new promo for MIM below, edited by Corinne Ryan of the Edit Forum. It is pretty cool.

Broken Superman Trailer September 2011Post-production on the new film by Zev Howley, Broken Superman, has begun and after reviewing the footage we can confidently say it's gonna be a little ripper of a film!
We're not going to give too much away, just want to say it was a fantastic set to work on, a hell of a team, so much fun and so much talent.
Check out the trailer below and see if you ain't curious. Photos on the right courtesy of Monika Em.
NPG are going to enjoy editing this one, people!

Eternal Screens @ Old Fitzroy Shorts August 2011Another screening for Eternal, our most recent (completed) short film, this time up at Old Fitzroy Shorts in Sydney. Our art director and resident Sydney-sider Sarah Jayne was in attendance and from all reports it was a great night and the film was well received. Yay! For more details about the film check out the official page here. | |
Dace on Pozible August 2011Dace Decklan: Private Eye, our debut feature film, is getting closer and closer to completion. But we have run into the hurdle that plagues all independent filmmakers - money. The film is deep in post-production, a complete rough cut is done, we just need to raise a little more money before we can send Dace out into this merry world.
It's our first feature film. It means a lot. A B-grade gross out comedy, a crazy mix of live action and animation, a Troma inspired mash of thrills, kills, and pills. All money raised will be put into animation and sound. All to entertain you, make you laugh, make you cry, make you scratch your head and say 'what the hell were they on?'' So please check out the link below, watch the trailer on Pozible, and help out if you can. We're aiming to raise $5000. Every dollar counts and your support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Ivan Malekin Producer & Director

Pictures on the right courtesy of Joseph Sirucka. And look out for the next one too!

'Flaming Absinthe' Music Video
June 2011From concept to shoot to edit to completed in 72 hours for the Music Video Mash-Up 2011 ... well, we couldn't resist fiddling a little with the colour grade after the fact (rendering time!) so what you see below is the final version of the clip, very similar to the official entry, just a little bit shinier. But the sentiment and sense of accomplishment remains the same. Such a tremendous effort by everyone involved and such fun too! A weekend we'll never forget. The band is The Madness Method. Enjoy!

Trailer for El Western
June 2011Scott Edwards of Greenside Productions, in case you didn't know, is a deadset legend. He whipped up this trailer for El Western, our upcoming short film, without even being asked. And it looks great! Seriously, the enthusiasm for this film has been overwhelming. And never have we had so much fun on set, and worked with such a talented cast and crew, as we did for this little western romp. Check out the El Western page here for more info on this project.
