Arclight to produce three Australian films per year

Arclight Films director Gary Hamilton says the goal of the international sales, production and distribution company is to produce at least three films per year in Australia, for the world market.

“We are actively developing, producing and representing many Australian films; with the current explosion of talent coming out of Australia, that is our goal,” Hamilton told Encore.

Arclight has just announced its new project A Few Best Men, directed by Stephan Elliott in conjunction with the team behind the UK comedy Death at a Funeral: writer Dean Craig and producers Laurence Malkin and Share Stallings.

Hamilton said the film will be “a more sophisticated version of [2009 US hit] The Hangover”, and “a more accessible cross” between that film and Death at a Funeral, “with a lot more heart”.
