April Drop In

"A farmer and his family must fight for survival after a ferocious pack of wild dogs infiltrates their isolated farmhouse. Through a series of frightening and bloody encounters they are forced into survival mode to make it through the night."

Written by Kent Smith, this paragraph sets the scene for
"The Pack" a feature film photographed by NSW member
Benjamin Shirley ACS
and directed by Nick Robertson.
For his efforts Ben was rewarded with a Gold plaque at the 2015 NSW/ACT Awards.

Ben Shirley ACS operates the ARRI Alexa

As our guest at the April Drop In Ben will screen segments of the film and and discuss how he and Nick came to make decisions about the many technical and aesthetic options that would help determine the look and feel of the production. This will be followed by a Q&A with Ben.

Don't miss what will surely be a great night with Ben Shirley ACS.
Thursday April 21st at ACS HQ (address below), doors open from 6pm.
