Sibling rivalry. It's a bitch.

"Family Business" is the first short film from writer/director Craig Delahoy. After many years in film and television working tirelessly on other people's projects (and winning international awards for them on the way), this is his first chance to put his vast experience into his own personal film project. Apart from film and television, Craig has more recently been polishing his writing and directing skills in the Sydney theatre scene with great success, to the point where he has been so in demand that he has recently had to start turning down directing work.

With this film Craig has many objectives:
 - To bring recognition and opportunity to some of the very talented actors he has met through his work in Sydney theatre.
 - To restart his own ambitions to be a full time film maker, utilising the extensive skills and experience gained over many years under the mentorship of some of Australia's greatest film and television talents.
 - To have at least one completed film project under his belt as he prepares to sell a major television series project.

The film is a short (7-8 minute) story about two sisters. If you've ever been in the situation where a sibling was always outperforming you, then you'll know what that feels like. For the two sisters in this story, the tension is taken to extremes and has unexpected consequences (as it often tends to do in much of Craig's writing!). 

A Sydney production company (Progressive Pictures) has agreed to take on all of the production and post-production requirements of the project at a wonderful discount. Craig Delahoy will direct. The funds raised by this fundraising will cover all the costs of production.
