In the Raw



DIVE INTO THE DEPTHS OF ROCKPOOL WITH IN THE RAW

Join us for the final In The Raw in 2011 - Rockpool with writer/director Sonia Whiteman and producer Karen Radzyner of Dragonet Films.

It’s a story about famous rock couple Slightly and Kat, The Decks, who have been torn apart by the death of their son Tom. Slightly is in denial and going the way of Charlie Sheen when he finds out that Kat is pregnant. Their record company ships Slightly off to anonymity in Australia to write a song out of the public eye, in a bid to save the lucrative duo. But the garage studio has none of the usual rock star trappings, in fact, there’s only a 12 year old PA/cook/sound engineer. When Slightly works out that the recording gear belonged to his late son, he realises that the 12 year old Henry is much more than he seems.

Sonia Whiteman is a writer and director whose short film Len’s Love Story starring Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman, screened in competition at Clermont-Ferrand and in NY Mag’s Top 5 at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.

Karen Radzyner of Dragonet Films most recently produced the TV hit Paper Giants which dramatised the creation of the legendary 70’s magazine CLEO. Karen is in post-production on her debut feature film Venice. She has produced several award-winning short films which have won awards at film festivals all over the world. She also produced the second series of Twisted Tales with Bryan Brown.

The script was also written by Pip Karmel and Josh Whiteman.
