Lost Gully Road continues the exploration of the representation of ghosts, and how cinema can manifest not only the ghosts included in the story, but how they are perceived in the medium. The aim is to make micro budget feature films part of a larger effort to explore local concerns and push the limits of the medium to join international debates around contemporary horror genre outputs. The horror genre presents a rich vein in which to cultivate contemporary ideas and modes of production. The micro budget approach lends itself to making – not reliant on slow funding models, rather a nimble response to the material. Lost Gully Road represents all those concerns and has won three international awards and a distinguished nomination so far.
