‘Sunday’, NZ Earthquake Movie, Begins Production

The co-production between Fighting Chance Films (Australia) and Brothers Young Pictures (New Zealand), ‘Sunday’ began principal photography today in Christchurch.

Starring Dustin Clare (Spartacus, The Eye of the Storm, Underbelly) and Camille Keenan (Packed to the Rafters, Rush, Blackspot, Satisfaction), Sunday is shot entirely on location.
 
The film really is a co-production in the every sense of the word. Ryan Alexander Lloyd (Beginning, Middle & End), is directing with Michelle Joy Lloyd (Home, Land & Sea), who wrote the script. He’s shooting the film and they’re both producing.

The film stars Dustin Clare and Camille Keenan (who also wrote the script and are co-producers) as Charlie and Eve, who are having a baby, but not together. After years of history and months of separation Charlie and Eve have one day to face each other and find their own way forward in the earth quake ravaged city of Christchurch.
 
Director, producer and writer Michelle Joy Lloyd (who grew up in Christchurch) said “While the film’s backdrop is a broken Christchurch city, there is a strong theme of hope and rebuilding. We want to shoot many of Christchurch’s undamaged areas, and attractions, and aim to showcase Christchurch as a city with unique potential. We all feel strongly about creating something special for Christchurch.”
