Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, including production funds. We have run into quite a bit of debt!
We are at the last leg of the filmmaking process, and with the prospect still of editing the actual film (which takes longer than it does to shoot it) after expensive equipment hire, location costs, stunts, complex production design and make up, and catering for what seemed to be the population of a small town, we do not have the monetary means to properly finish the film! We forbid you to watch this movie half finished!
To support us, be an active part of the filmmaking process with Pozible and help get this movie made!
Storyboarding -- Conceptualising -- Film Shoot
Developing the film since: 2011.
Fundraising: $15k for offsetting production costs & post production expenses ie sound design, music licensing, composition, mastering, duplication costs, marketing and publicity.
Camera: Red EPIC
Intended completion date: May 2013
If we finish PANDORIAN, we will distribute the film to festivals, film channels, online social networking, music and media publications, radio and television. With your help, the film will spread far. Without you, as a valued supporter and audience member, we filmmakers would have no meaning.
HARRISON WOODHEAD
Writer. Director.
YINGNA LU
Producer.
Yingna began her career accidentally on a reality dating show during her undergraduate year when she was told to fill in on the production role. She decided that after weeks of feeding actors scripted material, she might as well go into producing actual quality scripts. She followed through and the decision hurled her onto a journey of managing and producing webseries, short films, advertisements and feature films for Australian production companies, major TV networks and music bands. She will be dedicating time this year to Australian features with Bruce Beresford and Roland Joffe. There is no task too large, no weather condition that can discourage her, no location too challenging and no amount of money that can't be negotiated. She is Asian after all.

Writer. Director.
Risking insanity at the prospect of doing anything else, Harrison is shackled to the industry of storytelling. His stories are characterised by a strong sense of fun and an often light hearted depiction of dark subject matter, as seen in the award winning Gunderwilly Road (2011). Always pushing his limits he reckons Pandorian is the biggest short film he's ever heard of. Harrison comes from a background in advertising and has worked with brands such as ProActiv, Zumba Fitness, Nude by Nature, Sheer Cover, Rapid Loss, Colliers International, CISCO, Ray White and HSBC. If his film isn't funded Harrison might cry, and no one wants to see that.

NINO TAMBURRI
Director of Photography.
Nino has been working freelance in the camera department for over ten years on films such as The Matrix (1999) and Mission Impossible II (2000). During this time he worked as a first assistant, working with some of Australia’s most talented and distinguished Cinematographers. He quickly moved up the ranks, and then finally decided enough was enough. He was going to be a Cinematographer. Nino always strives to use his artistic and technical skill to creatively tell the story at hand. With his inhumane amount of optimism, Nino always manages to visually and magnificently translate any cryptic concept a director might throw at him. His variety of work encompasses short and feature films, commercial advertising, television drama and hey, what do you know, still photography.
KYLE ROWLING
Actor. Fight Choregrapher.
Kyle's career has spanned everything from training Eric Bana to period Greek shield and sword for Troy (2004), through to doing all the lightsaber fights for the last two Star Wars films (2002, 2005). His screen credits include Wanted (2008), Gabriel (2007), Spartacus (2010) and Bikie Wars (2012) and with over 25 years of martial arts experience, he also teaches and choreographs at just about every theatre company in Australia.
KAZIA ROACH
Production Designer.
Kazia Roach is an Art Director/Compositor who would rather live in a world that is surreal and extraordinary. Real life didn't cut it, so she decided she'd create them in her films. She’s worked on several films that range from supernatural to eccentric, including Conversion (2011) – an apocalyptic film about two delusional girls facing the end of the world and Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (2013)– the cinematic adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name. In her work, Kazia strives to achieve a high level of detail with surroundings that resonate the mood and nature of the film. Not one object escapes her eye, each element having a purpose and every scene is studied and assisted with colour, layout and composition.

STEVE ANTHOPOULOS
Editor.
Steve Anthopoulos is an editor/writer/director with a super duper ability to engage a broad audience. His 5 part comedy web series TBI (2007) attracted nearly 1 million online viewers at its peak. Very cleverly, he decided to follow up this apparent success with a 10 part interactive mystery web series, The 21 Conspiracy (2008/9), luckily attracted a legion of fans, indicated by the half a million views it claimed, its nomination for the prestigious Webby Award and its featuring on Wes Craven's Halloween spotlight. Steve has also made four short films including the award winning Tree in the Forest (2006) and Manoj (2007), which scored 800,000 and 600,000 views online respectively thus solidifying his prolific online presence.

TYSON DONNELLY
Post Production/VFX Supervisor.
Tyson is a Visual Effects Artist currently working as a compositor. He has completed work on a wide range of feature films but whenever there's a moment, he also directs and produces his own material. 2011 was a big year. His design and visual effects was recognised in Den Sista Galaxonaut a 2011 Tropfest top 16 finalist film, and then he successfully applied for the Screen NSW VFX Placement grant. It was a commendable achievement that firmly placed him in the industry where he quickly began working on feature films including Cryo (2011), Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) and The Avengers (2012). He has been lucky enough to work on profile TVC's such as Virgin Airways, Optus and the new Gucci Guilty Black campaign. Tyson is currently working on an upcoming Marvel film to be released this year while developing his own VFX driven web series.
