‘Project 12: A Time To Remember’ was released in the early hours of January 1 2012. An ambitious project helmed by The Solid State and commissioned by Tourism Australia, the short-film based around New Years Eve in Sydney was cut through the night and morning of Dec 31/Jan 01.

The film featured the stories of 5 people from around the world who had travelled to celebrate New Years in Sydney. It also incorporated user generated footage filmed by revellers on their smartphones and uploaded throughout the evening using an app. This footage was then cut into the film and seen in the final product the following morning.

Since it’s release, the film has received over 450,000 views helping bump Tourism Australia’s Facebook fans past the two million mark.

DENDY PRESHOW REEL

For those of you have sat in the seats of Dendy cinemas and felt the buzz as the lights dim, you’ll know the Dendy Pre-Show Reel well. That beloved montage of some of the finest art-house cinema has set the tone for our movie-going experience for years.

In recent times the love’s gotten all a little too much though, with the wear-and-tear of constant use.

That’s where The Solid State comes in: we’ve cut a new reel for a new decade of cinema. Don’t worry – the classics are still there – along with a whole new slate of recent and unreleased films. Blink and you’ll miss ‘em!

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Congratulations to Julia Leigh and the team at Transmission Films. We helped launch the trailer on Thursday night (14.04.11) with the news that SLEEPING BEAUTY had been accepted In Competition at the Cannes Film Festival 2011.
Sleeping Beauty is the directorial debut from award-winning novelist Julia Leigh (The Hunter). Harnessing the keen mind of Jane Campion as a mentor (The Piano, In The Cut and Sweetie) and working with a blacklisted script, Julia’s debut is a highly anticipated feature. Sleeping Beauty is a haunting erotic fairytale about Lucy (Emily Browning), a young University student drawn into a mysterious hidden world of beauty and desire.
