Tabrett Bethell is starring in "Sanctuary", coming in March 2011!

Tabrett shot a short film called Sanctuary back in October, directed by Benedict Samuel, her co-star is Xavier Samuel. It's produced by Azure Productions.

Nothing else is known about the film at this point, this is all they said on Facebook:
"Is working with Bene on Sanctuary and it is looking amazing...."
And on Twitter:
"Locked the cut on "Sanctuary""

I contacted one of the producers, Annmaree Bell, to find out a bit more. She was very kind and sent this answer:
"Tabrett is an amazing actress and we are hoping to have the film ready in March 2011.
I'll keep you updated with the details."

I'll post as soon as I find out anything else, but until then, keep an eye on these sites:
Azure's Facebook page
@Azureprodutions - Annmaree J. Bell
@GabrielDowrick - the film's editor.
Azure Productions' homepage.

The charity drive was successful!

Thanks to some really generous people, the goal was reached at the Tabrett Bethell Appreciation Project, then it was matched, so the final amount is $4,000 USD!

A big Thank You to everybody who contributed!

Paramount is publishing The Clinic in Australia!

Wow, I think this is really good news, grabbing a distributor like Paramount! From the film's Facebook page:

"Paramount releasing The Clinic on DVD on the 17th of Feb 2011 in Australia!"

Let's hope an international release won't be far behind either! Or that we'll be able to order it from other countries too.

Sydney has been named a City of Film by UNESCO
