We have been receiving numerous queries regarding the release of Broken Hill in Australia so we wanted to give you an official update on the process Broken Hill is taking before it gets a major release.
Broken Hill had its World Premiere in Melbourne Australia before it was taken on the international film festival circuit and our own test screening circuit. In the process it has won many awards and set the scene for a successful national and international release.
The normal gestation period for a film is 2 – 3 years. The Australian film “Shine’, which did so well at the Academy Awards a number of years ago took around five years from development to release. So the Broken Hill experience is nothing unusual. Less than 1% of the people we expect to see Broken Hill in theatres have been exposed to it so far. The major release schedules are yet to come.
The tentative release date for Australia is May 9, 2010. That may seem far off to some. However, we are making sure that the release of Broken Hill in Australia is a significant occurrence. We believe the wait will have been worth it.
Thanks for being so interested. If you didn’t care when or if it ran we would be more concerned.
