Monkey Puzzle is a 2008 Australian feature film about a group of friends who get lost in the wilderness.

Production

The film was shot on location in the Blue Mountains, the first Australian feature film to do so. It was shot on Super16mm film and captured with available light only. The independent film was made without any government financial support.

The film took four years to reach the screen after writer-director Mark Forstmann scrapped plans to shoot in the snow country because of the cost involved.

The film builds on the mystery of the Wollemia nobilis, commonly known as the Wollemi Pine, a real life prehistoric tree, endemic to Australia, that was discovered in 1994 in the Blue Mountains, north-west of Sydney. A protected species, its precise whereabouts is shrouded in secrecy. According to scientists, the tree should have died out with the dinosaurs and as a result, it has developed a reputation as a ‘Holy Grail’.
