Jamie Hilton, long term congregant and Emanuel graduate has produced The Waiting City, a feature film set in India starring Radha Mitchell, Joel Edgerton and Isabel Lucas. "It's an intimate, complex love story of transformation" says Hilton "they go to India to adopt a child, but this film is not about adoption, it's about marriage and connection".
A recent review states "This is a film that understands and deeply respects the cycles of life, love, death and renewal. A perfectly realised film featuring eloquent performances from the lead actors and shimmering cinematography".
Michael Yeszerski, renowned Sydney based Jewish composer scored the film which was directed by Claire McCarthy. The film premiered at Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews and hits cinemas nationally on July 15th through Hopscotch films. "It's so exciting to bring the film home and play it to my friends, family and community. The film is being released in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Latin America and the Middle East with several more territories in negotiation, but Australians will be the first to see it in the cinema".
The Waiting City was executive produced by actress Radha Mitchell, Lawrence Myers, another local member of the community and Mark Horowitz, and is the first Australian film ever to shoot entirely in India. "It's pretty amazing watching your trailer play to sold out houses before Sex in the City 2, I hope the community will come out and support the film, I'm very proud to be involved with such a beautiful story, I think the film appeals to women but will also reach out to sensitive men and anyone who has been or is in a long term relationship."
