| Description of Work | BREAK THE ROCK is a large-scale creature feature in the mould of classic monster films such as Jaws and Jurassic Park with dashes of the fun of films like Ghostbusters and Back To The Future. A big adventure that mixes gritty action with suspenseful horror, humorous characters and exciting set pieces, BREAK THE ROCK will be an Australian genre film that thoroughly thrills, terrifies and entertains. The film follows a touring metropolitan theatre group who arrive in a quiet, rural country town to present the locals with a production of King Lear'. They soon find that the in-fighting and clashes with the locals are the least of their troubles when the town's dark secret is revealed and a mysterious, homicidal monster emerges. A fight for survival begins as the creature unleashes its full power and the troupe become the prey of a dark force unlike anything they could have imagined. The fully scripted feature film is in the early stages of pre-production and so Mohworks Films has produced a cinematic concept trailer to help draw attention to the project and get the feature financed and into production. The concept trailer has been produced to give a clear idea of what the full feature production will be and demonstrate Director Michael O'Halloran's vision for the film. The concept trailer production was fortunate to receive the support of a cast and crew of over one hundred filmmakers who volunteered their time to the project. Queensland filming equipment specialists Light & Motion generously donated equipment and personnel to the trailer's production in a bold sign of support so that the team would be working with the very best filmmaking gear and make sure the trailer has all the production value of the finished feature film. The concept trailer is just the first step in bringing the monstrous adventure BREAK THE ROCK to the big screen. Break the Rock (Festival Awards): |
