Ballarat-born film student Luke Winzar was visiting the gallery with his grandfather when he was drawn to paintings of gold rush-era Ballarat.
The Swinburne student is crowdfunding for Jack Caine, a western about a robbed prospector who challenges his gold thieves Kill Bill style.
“I was looking at the old paintings that represent Ballarat in the 1850s and I started thinking of the story and it’s just stemmed from these paintings,” Winzar said.
“Jack Caine is mining just outside of Ballarat and he goes to exchange the gold he’s robbed by bushrangers and we follow the journey of his getting it back.”
The Jack Caine crew will host a film networking afternoon featuring international award winning director and screenwriter Tony Ayers and Mushroom pictures producer Bethany Jones at Art Gallery of Ballarat on July 30 at 3pm.
The event for regional film students and enthusiasts includes a question and answer session, and is being held in conjunction with Art Gallery of Ballarat. Tickets are $15, $10 for students.
