It will be lights, camera, action for three Wyndham film buffs when they attempt to make it big in the movie industry.
Henry Torres and Clyde Boraine, of Point Cook, and Josh Howlett, of Werribee, are writing, directing and starring in a Wyndham-based feature film.
Before The Night Ends was thought up by Torres and follows his character’s love affair with a stunning fellow school student.
The love interest just happens to be played by Tahan Lew-Fatt, of Big Brother fame.
As well as playing a major role in the film, Howlett will also be a co-producer.
Fresh from arriving home from Los Angeles where he is getting ready to film his own movie, a basketball tale called Final Four, Howlett told Star Weekly that his latest creation would bring something fresh to the Australian film scene.
“No one ever does fun Australian films any more,” Howlett said.
“We were sitting around and thought that it had been a long time since someone made a good fun movie like The Castle.
“When we were over in America, everyone kept saying how much fun it is to party in Australia, so we decided to make an Australian party film.”
The movie is the latest for Howlett, who says he couldn’t believe his luck.
“It’s a dream come true. It’s kind of like I’ve been asleep for 20-something-years and suddenly I’ve woken up and realised what I want to do. Even on low days I have to remind myself of where I am; it’s just amazing.”
Howlett said there would be opportunities for Wyndham residents to appear as extras in Before The Night Ends.
