The team from MAGPIE has just launched an online auction as a fundraiser to support the continuing shoot for MAGPIE, a feature film to be shot at Railway Farm, Trentham.
Billed as Wuthering Heights meets The Ring, MAGPIE is a supernatural/thriller romance following the story of a man mourning the death of his wife, who turns to online dating for comfort with terrifying consequences that will either destroy him – or set him free.
Written by Darren Markey and directed by Kate Whitbread, shooting of MAGPIE has already begun in Melbourne and central Victoria with more planned late 2023.
The auction is a chance for anyone wanting to support independent Australian film to do so. Bidders can score themselves some incredible items, from an amazing collection of original artworks from some of Australia’s most esteemed artists, beautiful holiday accommodation, a signed copy of the screenplay, CDs and band t-shirts, tarot readings, fresh flowers, to having a special event hosted by a professional emcee.
All proceeds from the auction will go towards the production the film.
“We are thrilled with the local support we have received in preliminary shooting for MAGPIE at Railway Farm and look forward to having folk join us for this exciting online event,” writer/producer Darren Markey said.
“We are extremely grateful for the incredible items that have been kindly donated. This is a unique opportunity for people to support Australian film and to bid on some fabulous treasures.”
The MAGPIE online auction is live – and closes April 24. Visit oktion.com.au/event-details/397
