This is the first time they’ve secured a premiere film, and it’s going to be huge. From the moment you arrive you will enter an entirely immersive atmosphere with sets, actors and live music inspired by the film. It promises to be a movie-going experience you will never forget!

Less than one year old, Underground Cinema has already attracted sell out crowds and rave reviews. The Vine described it as “a cinema experience like no other”, while the popular Curious Kate blog said it was “an unforgettable evening of cinematic and live performance pleasures unlike anything Melbourne has seen before”.

What’s happening with Unicorn in 2010?

The Kiwi contingent of Unicorn Productions, Julia Campbell, has successfully completed her course in post production at Natcoll in Christchurch. Her final project was a fascinating doco about her grandfather, poet Alistair Campbell, which can be seen here. She has since moved to Wellington and is looking for work in the film industry so if you have any contacts let us know! Her showreel is online here.

Jenine Kerr collaborated in early 2010 with Steven Dawson in his Midsumma Festival production Searching For David by creating a short film projection piece based on Michelangelo’s Statue of David. She is also continuing to gain more AV and Lighting experience through Staging Connections.

Erin Hutching has recently spent a month in India, highlights of which can be seen here. She has appeared in three short films so far this year for film students including as the lead in a Film Noir mystery for an RMIT Masters student and she has a new acting agent, Williams Talent. Also, Underground Cinema www.undergroundcinema.com.au is starting up again this year with the first event nearly sold out – Saturday March 20th and the theme is a mad warehouse party in the NYC Summer.

Watch this space for a new Unicorn Productions project in 2010!
