John Jarratt (Photographed in silhouette for the 3 disc DVD cover of Wolf Creek) is directing his first feature film, StalkHer, co-starring 3 time AFI Award Winner Kaarin Fairfax. The two first met in 1980 while filming the Australian TV miniseries The Last Outlaw, in which John played iconic Australian bullet-proof Bush-ranger Ned Kelly. Principle photography for Stalkher finished on Queensland's Gold Coast n March 2014 @ the Warners Brothers Studio lot.
The screenplay is by Kristijana Maric, having partnered with Craig Kocinski and along-side 'Mick Taylor' combined to form OZPIX Entertainment. Maric described the plot as an Australian version of Misery meets Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Jarratt’s character breaks into Fairfax’s house with a head full of evil intentions and a Boner to match.

    “ It’s a cat-and-mouse game where
      you are not sure who's the cat
      and who is the mouse... ”

Kocinski suggested the StalkHer screenplay, which Jarratt loved. The $1.3 million budget combines private investment, a refundable tax rebate for producers of Australian feature films/television and finance from Screen Queensland. Backlot Studios control the theatrical bookings, Shock Media/Regency Entertainment will carry the home media market and the international sales rep is UK-based Jinga Films, (previouslty involved with Savages Crossing, another of Jarratt's films under the Winnah Films banner).
Jarratt was keen to direct and star in a film which he could leveraging off Greg Mclean’s Wolf Creek 2, which Roadshow launched in February 2014. The Director of Photography is Jody Muston, who was the focus puller/second camera operator on the original Wolf Creek, she recently shot Nick Matthews’ thriller One Eyed Girl and was camera operator on Upper Middle Bogan. Maric says the producers opted to hire Backlot and pay for prints & advertising (funded by a private investor) in the hope of getting a much bigger slice of the Box Office cake beyond the standard 20% producers often receive. This is the first film developed by OZPIX but its third feature following Bad Behaviour (a serial killer thriller starring Jarratt, Roger Ward, Lindsay Farris and Robert Coleby) and lets not forget Nick McLean’s The Professional Idiot.
