We've had a few press set visits this past week with photographers and writers - they seem to have liked what they saw. Keep an eye out for some press in coming weeks. Big thanks to Empire (
www.empireonline.com.au) & Fangoria (
www.fangoria.com) magazines for coming on set to check out what we're doing - their reports will run closer to the release of the movie.
Our live stream is happening next Thursday, November 5. A LOT of hard work has gone into setting this up so I hope all of you reading have registered on our website and are planning to tune in. As I've mentioned before, this is a world first concept and the team assembled to make it happen are working diligently to offer a unique online experience.
Apparently there is an article in the Sunday Mail here in Australia on the 25th October about a mauled Great White Shark caught in the shark nets off the Queensland coast. According to the experts, the bite radius on the mauled shark indicates a suspected Great White Shark easily larger than 5 metres. Food for thought...

Welcome to The Reef Movie Website
I have always wanted to make a movie in Australia about sharks. There is something quite compelling about the concept.
Sharks and shark attacks are a huge part of Australian culture and how the rest of the world perceives us. It’s not uncommon to hear of friends or relatives that arrive from overseas but are too scared to enter the ocean because they believe they’ll be taken by a shark. Mention sharks at a party and everyone will have a story or a take on them.
The animal is synonymous with this country and yet we’ve never made a feature film about them. The American’s took one of our true stories and turned it into a very successful film called Open Water. For Jaws they came to Australia to get their shark footage but here in Australia we’ve never made a feature film about one of our most notorious cultural ambassadors. Like most films in this genre, The Reef is designed to frighten and scare to cause dread and alarm, to invoke our worst hidden fears, in this case a fear heavily imprinted in our genes, the fear of being eaten alive by a vicious, unreasoning predator.
I hope you come with us on the journey and keep in touch by coming back to my blog as often as you like.
