THE UNKNOWN MAN – FILM PRODUCTION

Filming with SAFC: Glitz, glamour, pine needles

• Job: Film Production
• Specifics: Experienced crew and screen services providers
• Starts: When COVID-19 restrictions lift

Crime thriller, “The Unknown Man” has been confirmed to shoot in South Australia, when film productions resume after the coronavirus crisis.

The crime thriller stars Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom, The Great Gatsby, Boy Erased) and UK star Sean Harris (The King, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation).

The Unknown Man producer Rachel Gardner says, “this is a challenging time for our industry, particularly for crew, but we are gearing up to move straight into production on The Unknown Man, which will be shooting in and around Adelaide, as soon as is practicable.”

And we know there’ll be jobs on set with this production company, as it’s the second time they’ve visited sunny South Australia.

“We are delighted to welcome See Saw Films back to South Australia with The Unknown Man after they previously embraced our locations and talent with their stunning production of Tracks in 2013,” says CEO of the South Australian Film Corporation Kate Croser.

“Such a major production presents significant opportunities for South Australian crew and screen service providers from right across the sector, and the SAFC is working closely with producers to ensure the best outcomes for our local talent.”

Production dates for The Unknown Man will be determined at a future time, pending the ongoing Covid-19 emergency.

Various roles will be available on the production for South Australian crew and extras. Experienced SA crew and talent are invited to submit expressions of interest and their CV to the production for consideration here.

Experienced South Australian crew and screen service providers are also encouraged to register and/or update their details in the SAFC’s Crew and Services Directory – a free, searchable database that provides information about local screen industry professionals and support services.


 

BHP

• Job: Mining and associated roles
• Specifics: Can be found on this page
• Starts: Now

Seldom on Twitter, we saw a recent post from BHP advertising it would be hiring for 1,500 positions across their Australian operations as a response to COVID-19.

After spending a protracted amount of time grimacing at the responses on Twitter from well-meaning dolts asking BHP to “please stop destroying Australia to extract fossil fuels” and “Please support renewables” (what do they think wind turbines and solar PV is made out of), we found the relevant links to find out just what kinds of jobs BHP is hiring for right now.
