豆知識

Rise is a 2014 Australian crime drama film. It was written and directed by Mack Lindon and stars Nathan Wilson as a man falsely accused of rape. The film is based on Lindon's own experiences.

Production

While serving time in prison, Lindon decided to turn his ordeal into a feature film. "I was very careful to keep away from the politics of that charge,” says Lindon. “Rise is about life, it’s about life inside and there’s a lot of pressure, you’re in a constant state of paranoia at times looking at your back and you’ve only got you’re word inside so you’ve got to be true to that, which helped me tremendously."

Lindon sought mentoring from Rob Sitch. "I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Castle and I’d heard that he made that on the smell of an oily rag," says McIntyre. "So I wrote to Rob and he replied very quickly with a couple of pages outlining the process ahead of me, breaking it up into steps, which I pretty much followed to a T."

I always think that if people write to you in a decent and thoughtful way they deserve a decent and thoughtful response. I said to him if you’ve got a good story that you’ve got to keep testing it and present it in a way that people can visualise. I find it amazing that he’s got the film up. I’m in the cheap seats there – that’s all his effort... It’s the same musical key [as The Castle] in a way: it’s someone fighting and staying resilient.

The film was shot mostly in Ipswich at the unused Borallan Correctional Center.
