Hollywood and the Gold Coast have long been synonymous with film production. Could Woombye become the next home for Australian film?
Although still early days, an ambitious film studio project is taking shape in Woombye. With location, set sites, rehearsal space and storage facilities well underway, the venture is creating exciting opportunities for film makers, actors, directors, set designers, camera operators and the many crew members needed to create make-believe magic.
The Sunshine Coast Screen Collective is pivotal in encouraging local talent and bringing expert knowledge and experience together, especially for those longing to become involved. The collective provides access to the Woombye facilities and equipment, helping emerging filmmakers gain valuable hands-on experience.
North Arm actor and filmmaker Mirko Grillini is among those helping drive the region’s screen industry forward. Mirko has appeared in numerous films and TV series, including the long-running drama Wanted starring Rebecca Gibney. He also shares his passion, experience and creativity at the Australian Performing Arts Conservatory (APAC) in Brisbane, which offers degrees such as Screen and Stage (Acting), Screen and Stage (Screen Production) and Musical Theatre, alongside industry-focused masterclasses in acting, production and management.
As the culmination of their degree, 11 APAC cadets are currently filming Outset in Woombye. The production features local actress Beverley Marcusson alongside a cast of other professional actors and marks the largest film project ever produced at the Woombye backlot, involving more than 25 crew members.
Mirko, who serves as the scriptwriter, director and actor on the project describes Outset as a dystopian, horror, fantasy and science-fiction film set in outback Qld in the near future.
His wife, professional artist and set dresser Amanda Grillini, relishes creating the evocative sets and finding props, including prosthetics.
The production represents their 4th collaboration between APAC and the Sunshine Coast Screen Collective, who have provided 95% of local crew, construction and equipment. Much of the special effects work is being created at the collective’s Peregian Beach Hub.
Filming is scheduled for completion in November, after which Outset will be presented on the film festival circuit. ... See MoreSee Less

Katie Rose Cottage Hospice – a vital provider of end-of-life care for the Sunshine Coast community – is seeking public support as it works towards reopening its palliative care facility in Doonan.
The hospice ceased providing services earlier this year due to a lack of government and community funding. To reopen and continue operating, the facility requires approximately $40,000 per week in combined government and community funding.
Joe Kelly MP has put forward an e-petition to the Legislative Assembly of Qld calling for stronger provision and coordination of palliative care services across the state.
The petition asks the House to call on the David Crisafulli MP LNP Government to ensure Palliative Care Qld has the resources needed to operate as an effective peak body for the sector. It also calls for all hospices in Qld to be supported so they can continue operating, for every region to have access to hospice services, and for all Hospital and Health Services to provide dedicated community palliative care services and dedicated palliative care in-patient beds.
Community members are being encouraged to sign the petition and help demonstrate the importance of accessible, coordinated palliative care for Queenslanders and their families. Scan the QR code to support the petition or visit: t.ly/v_ONv. ... See MoreSee Less
