Bud Tingwell dies at 86


Today one of Australia's great screen legends, Bud Tingewell passed on at the age of 86.

I had the great pleasure to work with Bud on a short film I co-produced in 2006. He was an absolute gentleman, professional and a man with many stories to tell.

I will never forget sitting around after to shoot to listen to him recount his days of acting with Chips Rafferty and his time spent overseas. It was like being transported back to the glory days of filmmaking and Bud was the time capsule of knowledge.

CHARLES BUD TINGWELL - REST IN PEACE.

Distribution Deal

It's Official!

Into the Shadows will be distributed by Ronin Films.

Ronin made a name for themselves throughout the 80s and 90s as a key independent distributor of Australian films and often sourced foreign films from then untapped countries such as Japan and China.

Ronin became known with hits like Shine and Strictly Ballroom but today focus mainly on the educational market. As Canberra's only real distributor of films (and me being a local Canberran) it has worked out well and I look forward to working with Ronin over the next few months distributing and marketing the film.
