This recognition by the international screen industry community, among other high profile global jurisdictions, is testament to Queensland’s diverse and film-friendly locations, attractive incentives and the personalised, attentive service of Screen Queensland staff.
“I’ve worked in the film business as a line producer for over 30 years and I’ve never had a better experience then I just had in Queensland. The crew, their professional level, the diversity of locations and studio facilities all exceeded my expectations … not to mention that I have fallen in love with this wonderful country. I cannot wait to come back.”
John Starke, Executive Producer – Love and Monsters
The other nominees are: Bath Film Office for Bridgerton; Estonian Film Institute/Film Estonia for Tenet; Hamilton Music and Film Office for Umbrella Academy; Liverpool Film Office for Tin Star: Liverpool; and Savannah Regional Film Commission for The Underground Railroad.
The winner of the 8th Annual LMGI Awards will be announced 23 October 2021.
“The movie is set in Northern California – a 90 mile journey that ends at the Pacific Ocean. Australia – and Queensland in particular – beyond giving us a great rebate which was necessary to make the film, looks and feels like Northern California. It even has locations we’ve embraced that had a more exotic or trippier feel than Northern California, which worked perfectly for the context of a world where humans have gone underground and monsters have taken over for the past seven years. Another benefit from shooting here is the crew – we’ve put together a world class crew in all departments and the majority of them came from within the region. Working in Queensland was an incredibly positive experience.”
