The Producers Guild of America on Tuesday named two Australian films and three others from countries around the world as winners in its inaugural International Co-Production Showcase, taking place in connection with the second annual Produced By Conference on the Fox lot.
CoProShow aims to "provide international film producers with a unique opportunity to engage in an open dialogue with their U.S. counterparts," the PGA said.
Winners included:
-- "66 Degrees North" (Iceland) -- Producers: Edwina Forkin and Richard Scobie; the story of an afflicted sea captain with a grim secret who is offered a second chance at life.
-- "The Adventure of Kokochin" (China) -- Producers: Tim Baker and Jing Jin; the true story of Princess Kokochin, daughter of Chinese emperor Kublai Khan, who travels to Persia with Marco Polo, is sold into a slave house, and then escapes back to China along the Silk Road.
-- "The Fourth Knot" (Victoria, Australia) -- Producer: Matt Hearn; a supernatural thriller about the most forbidden love.
-- "Somebody Else" (Canada) -- Producers: Andrew Boutilier and Eric Finkel; a smart crime thriller in the vein of films such as "Blood Simple" and "Shallow Grave."
-- "Under the Black Flag" (New South Wales, Australia) -- Producer: Nicholas Cole; the true story of two 18th century women pirates whose cleavage was just as deadly as their swords.
