Production

Twin Rivers began production in 2001. Filmed on a micro budget with little crew, Holmes self-financed the project and shot the film on DVCAM over the course of 4 years with mostly friends and family volunteering their help.

When the South Australian Film Corporation and Screen Australia refused to support the film, Rolf De Heer (Bad Boy Bubby, Ten Canoes, The Tracker) eventually came on board as a producer, helping with the sound, writing the film’s voiceover and supervising the recut of the film. It spent a further 2 years in post production and was completed in 2007.

The documentary An Independent Epic – The Making of Twin Rivers was produced by the filmmakers in 2009, which chronicles the journey of making the film from beginning to end.
