Independent film Flathead to be shot in Bundaberg to focus on ‘that guy you see at the end of the bar’

A movie about the relationship between a fish and a lonely senior citizen will begin production in Bundaberg later this year.

Flathead, an independent film inspired by the Bundaberg landscape and the authentic qualities of the locals, is being created by Brisbane-based filmmakers Jaydon Martin and James Latter.

Written by Martin, the story focuses on the character of everyday Australians, and he hopes to include members of the community to accurately represent regional Queenslanders in the film.
