“We’re thrilled to be working with the likes of Pinnacle Films, the films they have released speak for themselves. I’m very excited to have “Red Billabong” coming to Australian audiences and I hope they will get a kick out of the film. It’s action packed, funny, exciting and a story about Australian mythology they haven’t heard of before.”- Luke Sparke Writer/Director.
“In the Australian Outback, two brothers discover old secrets and family lies. As their friends start to go missing they fear they are being stalked by someone or something from their worst nightmares – But is it just – A story? A legend? A hoax? Or is it real?”
