(L-r) Leo Faber, Shaun Gladwell.
Leo Faber has worked in TV for almost twenty years as a producer and director, predominantly in the factual space.
Now he.s getting into virtual reality as one of the eight members of content collective Badfaith, made up of video artists Shaun Gladwell and Daniel Crooks, biomedical engineer Dr. Jordan Nguyen and directors Natasha Pincus, Amiel Courtin-Wilson, Samantha Matthews and Luci Schroder.
Faber was introduced to Vr two years ago by Sbs.s then-head of digital content, Jean-Paul Marin.

When the teaser for the Australian omnibus The Turning arrived earlier this summer, we were under the impression Cate Blanchett was still directing a segment in the adaptation of short stories from Tim Winton's short story collection of the same name. However, her schedule did not permit her to direct, and now she only stars in the film with Simon Stone directing her chapter. But there's still actors like Mia Wasikowska and David Wenham directing (and starring) along with Justin Kurzel and plenty more. Rose Byrne, Miranda Otto, Richard Roxburgh are just some of the actors starring in the film, and now the full trailer is here. We're not sure when the film will hit the United States, but it looks gorgeous. Here's the full trailer for the Australian omnibus The Turning from YouTube: Warwick Thornton, Jub Clerc, Robert Connolly, Anthony Lucas, Rhys Graham, Ashlee Page, Tony Ayres, Claire McCarthy,...

Over the past few years it seems that we’ve seen more and more omnibus films, from arty travelogues (“Paris, je t’aime”) to horror (“The ABCs of Death”). What sets “The Turning” apart, however, is that it’s an adaptation of the Tim Winton novel of the same name. While we’ve already seen a teaser for the film, and now a full length trailer has arrived for the effort. A largely Australian endeavor, the film contains entries from seventeen different directors — Mia Wasikowska, Justin Kurzel, David Wenham, Benedict Andrews, Jonathan auf der Heide, Tony Ayres, Shaun Gladwell, Rhys Graham, Ian Meadows, Yaron Lifschitz, Claire McCarthy, Ashlee Page, Stephen Page and more. And as for the cast, a batch of big names have been rounded — Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Rose Byrne and Miranda Otto — along with a number of smaller players as well. The multi-threaded film starts with the relationship between a young woman.

We’ve seen a few omnibus films over the past few years where multiple directors sign on to helm a series of what are essentially short films to compile into one ambitious feature. We’ve had some good ones (Paris Je’taime) and some not so good ones (Movie 43), but from the looks of this first trailer for The Turning, it seems we may have something that falls into the former.
Seventeen different directors will each take a chapter from Tim Winton’s generational spanning novel of interconnected short stories to create what looks like a truly ambitious piece of filmmaking. The film also marks the directorial debuts of actors Cate Blanchett, Mia Wasikowska and David Wenham and also boasts the directing talents of Snowtown’s Justin Kurzel and Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah).

Though Cloud Atlas may not have made the splash many had hoped, Hugo Weaving hasn't been turned off from ambitious, generation-spanning projects with interconnected stories. The Turning is getting ready to premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival next month, and the omnibus marks the directing debut of on screen talents like Cate Blanchett (Hanna), Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and David Wenham (300) along with 14 other filmmakers as they adapt short stories from Tim Winton's short story collection of the same name. The three also star in the collection of stories along with Rose Byrne, Miranda Otto, Richard Roxburgh and more. The teaser makes the Australian film look just gorgeous. Here's the teaser trailer for the omnibus The Turning, from Madman (via The Film Stage): Warwick Thornton, Jub Clerc, Robert Connolly, Anthony Lucas, Rhys Graham, Ashlee Page, Tony Ayres, Claire McCarthy, Stephen Page, Shaun Gladwell, Mia Wasikowska, Simon Stone,...

For those of you who have been reading us for a while, you might remember that way back in the day, we did a two part feature on omnibus films, and basically it boils down to this: by their very nature, with numerous directors and actors taking part, it's very rare for these kinds of movies to work as a whole. Some segments will be great, while others will miss the mark, but the ambition is always admirable. Which is why we're keeping an eye on "The Turning," a movie we nearly forgot about.

Why is 40 such a critical age? An encounter between writer Peter Robb and Alex Dimitriades, an actor resurrecting his career, offered some answers
A couple of years ago I wrote a piece on the Australian actor Alex Dimitriades. Alex had stumbled from high school into a career as a film and TV star a bit over 20 years before, and he was still a significant presence on Australian screens. But a sense of slippage was growing.
I'd met him a decade before, when we workshopped a play at the Sydney Theatre Company. He was an actor of great intuitive strength, as good on stage as in his films. Head On had caused a stir in Cannes a short time before. He seemed at the top of his game, and full of promise still. I didn't know it, but the brilliant young film actor's career was already beginning to slow. The titles...

Four feature film projects have received funding from Screen Australia, including a Tim Winton anthology which will be directed by a number of high profile actors and filmmakers such as David Wenham, Mia Wasikowska and Cate Blanchett.
The $5 million invested across the four films is expected to generate $20 million in production.
Winton's popular short story collection The Turning will be adapted by Robert Connolly's production company Arenamedia, with each chapter brought to the screen by a different director.
Set on a coastal stretch of Western Australia, The Turning follows the turning points faced by ordinary people. Other directors attached to the project include Tony Ayres (The Slap), Justin Kurzel (Snowtown) and Claire McCarthy (The Waiting City).
Other projects on the investment slate include a new project from Oscar-winning producers Emile Sherman and Iain Canning, a supernatural thriller starring Essie Davis and a teen drama set in the suburbs of Canberra.
