G.O.D. is a winner in France

Glenn Owen Dodds, an illuminating Australian short film starring David Wenham has won the International Prix Canal+ Award at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France.

Directed by Frazer Bailey of Play TV, written by Trent Dalton and produced by Bec Dakin, Glenn Owen Dodds is an uplifting comedy about a young man (Abe Forsythe) who has a chance encounter with a mysterious man named Glenn Owen Dodds (David Wenham) who claims to be God. What follows is a thought-provoking tale of love, faith and the universe.

The post-production for the film was completed at The Post Lounge with Steve Cooper as editor. “Coops is a master editor and knowing we have a post production company with so much experience looking after us every step of the way is really important. And the grade is amazing, Nucoda really worked it’s magic for us” said Frazer Bailey.

The win means the Canal+ entertainment network will purchase Glenn Owen Dodds for broadcast in France and Spain.

Funded by Screen Australia, Glenn Owen Dodds was shot throughout south-east Queensland, in the sound stages of Warner Roadshow Studios and in the city streets of Brisbane.

With the success of Glenn Owen Dodds growing rapidly, Frazer Bailey will again team up with Trent Dalton and David Wenham, this time with Wenham as Producer, to develop his debut feature film In the Silence.
