SPAAmart project Wake Up Dead, to be directed by Joel Kohn, and an adaptation of a stage play by former Sydneysider Jack Feldstein, are among the features being developed under Garry Charny.s new production company, Spotted Turquoise Films.
Charny has kept a low film profile since his former company, April Films, produced Ray Lawrence.s Jindabyne, which was in official selection at Cannes in 2006. He has been keen to re-enter the business, however, and has appointed Vca graduate and short film producer Josh Butt to work with him on development and packaging.
.I want to do films with heart," Charny told If Magazine. "I will never make Snowtown or even Animal Kingdom, not because they are not good -- or bad -- but because they are just not what I want to make....

Our three Austin-exclusive screenings of the new Steven Soderbergh film from SXSW, And Everything Is Going Fine, start next week. From Monday January 3-Wednesday January 5, 7:00pm at the Ritz belongs to this new documentary about Spalding Gray, the master monologist probably best known for his masterpiece Swimming To Cambodia.
Our friend Jack Feldstein, an Australian animator and screenwriter, sent us this raving praise, and I think he conveys what this awesome film is about better than we could:
And Everything Is Going Fine is exactly what they tell you a film shouldn’t be. Pretty much 89 minutes of one talking head. But it’s a particularly unique talking head. Spalding Gray’s.
Spalding Gray (1941-2004) possessed two of my favorite qualities in a person: neurosis and gutsiness. In his case, as a monologist, these compelled him to tell his truth. The truth, mes amis, is always rare and riveting.
