Curiosidades

Emu Runner is a 2018 Australian independent film. It was written and directed by Imogen Thomas, who wrote the film with Indigenous script consultant Frayne Barker. Thomas co-produced the film with Victor Evatt.

Production

Production of the film commenced in Brewarrina in 2017.

The film was made with a very limited budget and relied on two crowd funding campaigns, and a "goodwill arrangement" of much of the cast and crew. More than $40,000 was raised on crowdfunding platform Pozible with completion funding obtained from Screen Australia. Additional post production funding consisted of grants from the Aboriginal Benefits Foundation and individual donations. Blair worked on the film between shooting days for Mystery Road.

Much of the cast, including Rhae-Kye Waites, were Brewarrina locals who had little or no acting experience, some of whom were also family members of Waites. Waites' grandmother Mary Waites played Gemma's grandmother in the film, her grandfather Lindsay Waites played Gemma's uncle, and her cousin, Letisha Boney, played Gemma's sister.
