After last year’s iteration saw six projects optioned, Aacta is set to re-team with Monster Pictures to run a horror and genre film development initiative.
2020’s Aacta Pitch: Isolation saw close to 200 submissions, and through a series of development rounds, filmmaking teams were required to demonstrate clear planning around finance, marketing, and audience development. Ultimately, eight projects were selected to compete in a live-streamed pitching final at Aacta ScreenFest.
Writer/director Jordan Watton and producer Julia Corcoran’s Burning won that event, receiving $10,000 and an exclusive distribution deal with Monster Pictures.
However, Monster Pictures director Grant Hardie was so impressed with the concepts that following the 2020 competition, with Chris Brown’s production company Pictures in Paradise, he optioned five of the other first round finalists’ projects. They are now working with the teams to develop their projects and take them to market.
One of those projects is Aaron McCann’s Jonesy,...

Hannah and Eliza Reilly.
Sisters Hannah and Eliza Reilly love the crime genre but wondered why Australia has never produced a TV series which tackles the subject from a female perspective, apart from Wentworth and Prisoner.
So when the writers-directors-performers met with experienced crime writer Niki Aken at the Engendered Masterclass hosted by Bunya Productions last December, they came up with the idea of a premium drama series about two sisters who quit their day jobs in their quest to become full-time criminals.
The Reillys then asked Yolanda Ramke (Cargo) and Sarah Lambert (Lambs of God), whom they had met on a Screen Australia/Australian Writers’ Guild’s Talent USA trip last September, to join the project entitled Partners in Crime.
Producer Julia Corcoran signed on and Screen Australia today announced it is receiving story development funding.
