“Common Wealth,” a documentary filmed throughout eight international locations probing alternate options to prevailing financial and political methods, will open in Australian and New Zealand cinemas on June 23. Madman Leisure is releasing the movie by means of its Storage Movies division.
The venture is the debut documentary function from writer-director-presenter Kane Guglielmi, who frames his personal journey by means of the movie as that of a conservatively raised capitalist in search of better prosperity past the fashions he grew up with. Guglielmi produced the movie by way of his firm Darkwood Leisure. Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave is amongst those that seem in it. Guglielmi will undertake a promotional tour of greater than 30 cities throughout Australia and New Zealand starting on opening day.
“As I enter my fourth year on this global journey, I must admit, the timing of its ultimate theatrical release feels rather uncanny. What seemed like a subject matter of somewhat distant relevance in 2022 seems to have suddenly shifted to the forefront of the minds of the majority. Without a doubt divine intervention,” Guglielmi mentioned.
The movie engages with themes of housing insecurity, cost-of-living strain, political division and international battle.
“Given the global nature of ‘Common Wealth’ and its timely and poignant themes, my ambition is to take the film beyond Australian shores to an international audience. It’s deeply connecting and inspiring all walks of life. People are desperately searching for hope and reasons to be positive for the future in such confusing and divisive times,” Guglielmi mentioned.
Guglielmi has bought the spec script “The Groundbreaker,” a Nineteenth-century piece centered on Irish immigrant John Mackay.
