AUSTRALIAN INDEPENDENT FILM RA CHOI WINS AWGIE BEST FEATURE AWARD.
Against the odds, the low budget feature RA CHOI has scooped the prestigious BEST FEATURE FILM award at the 38th annual Australian Writers Guild Awards (The AWGIEs) held in Melbourne’s Regent Theatre Plaza Ballroom on Friday 25th November 2005.
A multi award winner for his short film work, writer, director and producer Michael Frank’s debut feature competed against the Cate Blanchett film Little Fish, Three Dollars and Look Both Ways.
The AWGIE awards celebrate the success of Australian writers in film, television, radio and the stage. Previous winners of BEST FEATURE FILM include Somersault, Japanese Story and Rolf de Heer’s The Tracker.
The makers of RA CHOI are proud to associated with the Australian Writers Guild and thrilled to have been named BEST FEATURE FILM.
RA CHOI follows the lives of a Vietnamese ‘gang’ consisting of four street kids trying to survive. ‘RA CHOI’ is a Vietnamese expression when translated means “Coming out to play”, referring to living on the streets.
The film was completed for AUD $60,000 and was shot with the Panasonic DVX100 camera.
