The wilds of Tasmania may seem an unlikely setting for an Australian film based on a Shakespeare play.
Yet shooting is underway in the Derwent Valley on All.s Well That Ends Well, which transplants the narrative to the early 20th Century.
Produced by Fentonbury Films, the project marks the feature directing debuts of Aaron Luke Wilson, an Adelaide graphic designer, and Hobart-based Peter Wilson, a schoolteacher who has produced, directed and acted in Shakespeare productions in Queensland.
Peter and Janie Wilson spent eight years developing the script and sourcing sites in the Derwent Valley. They raised $3,425 (exceeding the $3,000 target) via crowd funding site Pozible towards the costs of production. The cast includes Tasmanian actors Andrew Casey and John X as well as Matthew Stolp, Melanie Brown and Sasha Roubicek.
John Wilson is heading a small team supporting lighting and audio recording and handling props, replicas and VFX.
Written in 1605, the play revolves around Helena,...
