The Nothing Men team unveil new project

Press release from A Company

The Nothing Men director and producer team Mark Fitzpatrick and Martin Dingle Wall (Alchemy Film Productions) are set to hit Hollywood with their next big film, Descendance.

Signed and sealed by Oscar-winning Producer David Valdes (The Green Mile, In the Line of Fire, Unforgiven, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), filming is set to take place as early as next year.

Blown away by their first feature film The Nothing Men, in exclusive cinemas now, Valdes said he had to be a part of the next masterpiece they produced.

“Stellar performances by a remarkable cast,” Valdes commented.

The first Aussie film and the second in the world to be shot on Red Camera, The Nothing Men screening filled the Frank Sinatra theatre at the USC.

The industry audience were so impressed with The Nothing Men that it was placed in the Top Five Films at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Meeting with Valdes after the screening secured the lucrative deal with Descendance, a movie showcasing the trials and tribulations of the Aboriginal dance troupe.

Descendance is the journey of how the hurdles, trials and odds in life, can be the preparation one needs to trust their inner voice and know opportunity when it appears before them. There is overwhelming spirit and healing in the words of this story.

Spending the last decade on the road chasing the World Cultural Dance Championships, Descendance have clocked up more air miles and have performed in more countries than AC/DC and Kylie Minogue consecutively.

In fact, the Indigenous focus was Descendance in the DISCOVERY Channel’s Australian Documentary ATLAS Australia, narrated by Russell Crowe.

Performing in more than 50 countries, Descendance is highly acclaimed at Global Festivals.

Incorporating panoramic beauty, as well as heart break and struggle and injustice of white man law, Descendance will surely tug on global heart strings.
