WA's legendary Red Dog on track for the big screen
Friday 7 August 2009
The stories of Red Dog, the famous Red Kelpie who travelled across the Pilbara and most of the State, are set to be made into a feature film with the assistance of the Liberal-National Government and film distributor Village Roadshow.
Culture and the Arts Minister John Day today confirmed that ScreenWest had committed up to $510,000 in funds towards the film’s production. Funding support from the federal screen agency Screen Australia was also confirmed today.
Read the Minister's statement.
“Red Dog touched the lives of many people from the diverse Pilbara community and this will be well represented in the film.
“ScreenWest’s early backing of the project during its development phase was a major catalyst allowing us to fully finance the film.”
