PRODUCTION DETAILS

Fearless was produced over two years with funding from the Australian Film Commission, Film Victoria, and Ovation.

Rob George has known Julia Britton for many years, since they both lived in Adelaide, South Australia. Rob and Mark interviewed Julia and Robert Chuter a number of times before hearing of their proposed trip to London to take the British theatre scene by storm.

With initial funding from the Australian Film Commission, Rob and Mark followed Julia and her entourage to London. The play, Fresh Pleasures, had mixed success.

Upon returning to Australia, Rob and Mark secured the interest of Ovation, the pay TV arts channel, and further funding from the AFC and Film Victoria. This enabled them to complete the film.

Artist ANTHONY BRESLIN produced the initial artwork that forms the opening title of the film, and he was engaged to create more art that forms a number of animated sequences throughout the film. Anthony is clearly a highly talented artist, and his work has substantially contributed to the finished film.

Editor ROSIE JONES was brought on board to complete the editing of the film, and her contribution was considerable. She provided invaluable insights into the material as the 'fresh pair of eyes' and her work is why the film flows as well as it does.

Once the film was locked off, Rob and Mark travelled to Adelaide to spend a week with composer QUENTIN EYERS, whose fluency and creativity with the guitar and piano in particular have lifted the film to another level. It was quite an experience working with Quentin, who wouldn't rest until each piece of music was perfect. Quentin's QEM Studios also mixed the film.
