.He was quite emotional but he was positive with the outcome and we were able to move forward with his blessing,. Martin told If.
.Essentially it is the story of a young father and his family set in the world of art. I hope it will connect with a broad audience..

'The Butterfly Tree'..
Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Miff Premiere Fund will present six world premieres at the 66th Melbourne International Film Festival (Miff), including Greg McLean.s survival thriller Jungle.
The festival runs August 3-20; the full program will be launched on July 11, with general public individual session tickets on sale from July 14..
The six premieres are:.
The Butterfly Tree, the feature debut of director Priscilla Cameron, is a coming-of-age tale of love and loss tinged with magical realism, starring Melissa George, Ewen Leslie, Ed Oxenbould and Sophie Lowe.
Naina Sen.s The Song Keepers chronicles the hidden musical legacy of ancient Aboriginal languages and German baroque songs that are being preserved by the Central Australian Aboriginal Women.s Choir.
Eddie Martin.s Have You Seen the Listers? is a moving personal account of the artistic and commercial rise of Australia.s most renowned street artist, which came with a deep personal cost.
In Westwind: Djalu.s Legacy, director Ben Strunin portrays Yolngu elder Djalu Gurruwiwi.s quest to pass his people.s ancient song lines and culture to the next generation — with a little help from global pop star Gotye..
Rabbit is a chilling fairytale feature debut from director Luke Shanahan in which identical twins are linked by more than just DNA, starring Alex Russell and Adelaide Clemens.
The opening night selection, Jungle stars Alex Russell and Daniel Radcliffe in a thriller based on the real-life story of adventurer Yossi Ghinsberg.
The Premiere Fund, which offers minority co-financing to new Australian narrative and documentary theatrical features that then premiere at Miff, has invested in a total of 56 projects. To celebrate the anniversary, Miff will have retro screenings of three classics:
Balibo (2009), Robert Connolly.s political thriller starring Oscar Isaac and Anthony Lapaglia. Bastardy (2008), Amiel Courtin-Wilson.s impressionistic portrait of the life of Indigenous arts personality Jack Charles.. Blessed (2009), Ana Kokkinos. drama about families, love and loss, starring Frances O'Connor, Miranda Otto, Deborra-Lee Furness, William McInnes, Sophie Lowe, Harrison Gilbertson and Reef Ireland.
Meanwhile www.miff.com.au will feature a new dedicated Premiere Fund page outlining all 56 investments along with a link to a new iTunes page where many of those films can be purchased..
Among the notable milestones over the 10 years:
Nearly 32 per cent of the fund.s films had female directors (versus Screen Australia-reported industry average of 16 per cent). Nearly 59 per cent had female producers (versus industry average of 32 per cent). 41 per cent included youth themes.. 27 per cent had elements portraying Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Communities (CALDs), with 5 per cent having Cald creative principals (director and/or producer(s). 16 per cent included Indigenous themes and/or characters (including Bran Nue Dae), and nearly 7 per cent had Indigenous creative principals. 13 per cent included Lgbti characters and/or issues, with 18 per cent involving Lgbti creative principals. Some 50% of Premiere Fund movies were helmed by first-time directors.
Miff Premiere Fund executive producer Mark Woods said, .The talent we have been able to support has been incredible — 19 per cent of Premiere Fund films are directed by alumni of Miff emerging director workshop Accelerator Lab and 48 per cent advanced their funding at Miff.s film financing event 37ºSouth Market — so we really do feel like we come on a long journey with these projects..

★★★☆☆"Everyone bonded with each other who could skate and we were complete pricks to people that couldn’t,” goes Tas Pappas; one half of the ill-famed skateboard duo the Pappas brothers. And as far as All This Mayhem (2014) is concerned, this puffed-up bluster of his is patently true. Reeling footage of short-tempered thrashings from the halfpipes to the suburban gullies of a socially reductive Australia make up almost the entirety of Eddie Martin’s documentary. In initiated circles, both Tas and his brother Ben were maniacal miscreants; hellbent on relieving their asphyxiation with chaos and shattering the vertical skateboard scene with the swipe of a fist.

The tale of Aussie skateboard kings Ben and Tas Pappas is told in this cautionary story from documentary-maker Eddie Martin. After leaving their hometown of Melbourne, the pair are feted in America as all-conquering teenage board heroes before cocaine and big business destructively muscle into their lives. Superb home-video footage captures the tragic fall of siblings who came up against Us uber-boarder Tony Hawk and ultimately stripped him of his World Number One titles.

All This Mayhem follows the strange tale of two skateboarding brothers, Tas and Ben Pappas, whose debauched lifestyle on the road, infamous feud with Tony Hawk and sense-defying feats in the skate part made them a legend in the sport.
Eddie Martin’s film however tells the story through to the end – the falling out, the shunning by the sport which took them in, the self-destruction which flipped their legend into a cautionary tale. All This Mayhem is a fine documentary, playing lately at Sheffield Doc/Fest and soon to be soon in UK cinemas.
Here’s an exclusive look at the trailer and poster – read our review here.

It was at the local skate park filmmaker Eddie Martin met brothers Tas and Ben Pappas; the talented Australian teens who would end up as skateboarding professionals who took the world by storm.
However after their rise to international fame comes a story of a spectacular downfall. In later years, one of the brothers would end up murdering his ex-girlfriend before taking his own life, while the other would also serve jail time for a disastrous attempt to smuggle drugs from South America. The story of the Pappas brothers and their rise to ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the world on the vertical ramp (Tas and Ben respectively) before their remarkable and drug-fuelled demise is documented in Martin.s searing feature documentary, All This Mayhem. .I got to know the brothers, obviously in my teenage years, from sharing the local skate park together,. recalls Martin. .They are a bit younger than me,...

Lucy Walker reintroduced audiences to the perils of board sports last year in The Crash Reel, documenting the successes and traumas of snowboarder Kevin Pearce. While Walker’s film showed literal recovery from Pearce’s disastrous injury, Eddie Martin’s new film All This Mayhem tells of a completely different type of healing. In the late 80s/early 90s, Martin used to skate with Tas and Ben Pappas – at the time complete newbies on the vert skating scene in Melbourne – but who would go on to compete against Tony Hawk in the Us and ultimately strip him of his World No.1 titles. However, to call this a documentary about skateboarding is a misstep: instead this is an explosively compelling story of two lives at full-tilt.
From the splintered skate-parks of Australia to the Espn-branded ramps of California, Martin travels equally so from the heartlands of Tas and Ben’s upbringing,...
