film ADAM MORRIS SHOOTS NEW FEATURE FILM IN ALBANY “We Used to Shoot Whales, Now We Shoot Movies.” STORY AMANDA CRUSE | PHOTO LATA WRIGHT After picking up best picture awards in Sweden, France, Italy as well as here at home at the WA Screen Culture Awards (and a best director gong in Japan) we catch up with filmmaker Adam Morris in the front bar of the Hilton Garden Inn Albany as he readies himself for his second feature film which he’s shooting again right here in Albany. This time he’s being joined by iconic Indigenous actor Trevor Jamieson as well as Myles Pollard who will star in the new film Frank and Frank (or The Valley and the Walrus: Ruminations on the Mystery from Soup to Nuts). The success of Edward and Isabella has been tremendous, has this exceeded your expectations or were you quietly confident you had a hit on your hands? No, I was neither quiet nor confident before starting Edward and Isabella. I announced via the ABC that I was thinking about making a film during a radio interview for my last book, they then ran a statewide article telling half the country of my plans and then I was faced with the daunting task of turning it into reality. I bought a camera, a microphone and put the word out we were looking for two solid lead actors and we struck gold when Chloe Hurst read the script and wanted to be in the film. What is different this time round with Frank and Frank? We made Edward and Isabella for $15,000 which is what most films spend on coffee during a normal production. The actors were staying in my house and myself or my partner Talarah had to cook and feed the cast and crew after every day’s shoot (or sometimes Talarah’s mother). This year we’ve partnered with the Hilton here in Albany so they’re putting up Myles and Trevor for the duration of the shoot and taking care of their breakfasts. So every day we get two very happy, well rested and well fed actors turning up on set. This year you’ve also managed to raise a considerable amount of money for the production of Frank and Frank, how did this come about? We’ve managed to raise $60,000 from the local community here in Albany. From individuals as well as local businesses. We’ve done this by selling shares in the film with each share going for $2,500. A percentage share buys you access to the film set, invitations to all the events and premieres as well as a corresponding share of the profits from box office worldwide and streaming services worldwide. So if you own one share, you own one percent of the profits, five shares equals five percent, 10 shares FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Hilton Garden Inn Albany Manager Steven Millhouse, Trevor Jamieson, Adam Morris, Talarah Pedrocchi Roelofs and Myles Pollard.
