Gallery Shop - 'Grandpa Milawa Stories', retold by Uncle Freddie Dowling

7/2/2020

 
North East Artisans' Gallery Shop has on consignment a locally printed book called “Grandpa Milawa Stories”. The stories have been passed down, and retold by Uncle Freddie Dowling. The book is dedicated to the original owners and occupiers of the land, the Bangerang/Pangerang people. It is beautifully illustrated by Fay Voss.

Three of the stories - Yarraboyn, Mullinmurr and Mundgee -were made into short films by Killer Pig Productions for Wangaratta Council as part of the Bullawah Cultural Trail Project. 


Killer Pig Productions/Benalla Rural City -  'Being Australian'

2/2/2020

 
Congratulations to Benalla Rural City for inspiring, to Killer Pig Productions' Jake and Sam Bowtell for producing and directing, and to the community members who took part in the making of this thought provoking and wonderfully edited, video which premiered at Benalla's Australia Day Event at BPACC on Australia Day.

Killer Pig Productions'  new short 'Swamp-Hen Vignette'

16/1/2020

 
'Swamp-Hen Vignette',  Killer Pig Productions latest work, is based on one of their comic book character concepts, Swamp-Hen. 

I't's 'Bloom City.  A suffocating summer night.  The White-Tail Gang prepares for another night of orchestrated anarchy'.
.

Writer Jake Bowtell  describes ​'Swamp Hen Vignette' as 'chock full of bangin’ action from a bangin’ superhero'.  and suggests  it will  appeal  if  'watching an Indie Australian superhero beat down on a building full of scumbag gangsters is the kind of thing that jams your doughnut'.  
Swamp-Hen Vignette  demonstrates Killer Pig Productions' ongoing development as film producers.    Jake and Sam Bowtell continue to challenge themselves, writing, directing and producing short films such as 'Swamp Hen Vignette' on shoe string budgets.   Swamp Hen Vignette  features  only three actors (Sam Bowtell, John Larkin and Owen Maclaughlan) and the old SEC building's corridors and windows,  The editing and use of music is skillful; the scene shot through the windows of an adjoining building particularly memorable and the use of graphics in the closing credits impressive.. 
​
Swamp-Hen Vignette 
is fast moving; skillfully edited and makes compelling viewing.

​The corridors and stair wells at NEA will never feel quite the same again!

Killer Pig Productions new 'Suck It Up' podcasts on You Tube...

12/12/2018

 
Killer Pig Productions' Jake and Sam Bowtell are now producing weekly 'Suck It Up' podcasts from the studio they've begun sharing with Tim Bowtell at NEA..  They arrive at the studio early on Monday morning to produce the  episode - to date Episode 1: Jack Johnson; Episode 2: Franco;  Episode 3: Owen McLaughlin;  Episode 4: Annaliese - and coming up - Episode 5: Ellen James.   

The 'Suck it Up' podcasts provide a unique opportunity to 'eavesdrop' on wide ranging conversations between Jake and Sam (aka the Bow N Tell brothers) in which they explore all sorts of ideas from a twenty something perspective in a comfortable, stimulating fashion, engaging their guests with their ideas and also drawing upon their guests to add more to the conversational menu.  Find a block of time in which you can focus on listening to their podcast - or perhaps dip into each one in 'biteable chunks;.  Enjoy!  
In Episode 2: "Jake and Sam have a voluminous philosophical gasbag with the unique and wonderful dude known as Franco. The nature of the barter economy, self, bonobo mating, community, school, accountability on social media, religion... all of these fill a pleasant balloon of conversation, ready to burst into your earholes."
In Episode 4 "Sam and Jake talk to Annelies, a local fermentologist (we did up a word thing!) who creates excellent food, drink and deep philosophical contemplations! We talk Vipassana, the popularity of Murder/Crime podcasts, body image, Guild Wars, the origins and practice of fermentation!"

Personalised Writing and Editing workshop with Jake and Sam Bowtell

"The Personalised Writing & Editing Workshop with Killer Pig Productions was great. So much learnt listening to Jake and Sam talk about each piece attendees submitted.,  Recurring themes that came up, no matter what the style or genre, were having a sense of place and writing with intention.... Thanks Killer Pig Productions"  Carla Gardner, Broken River Writers

Broken River Writers--October's intriguing workshop with  Killer Pig Productions' Jake and Sam Bowtell

15/10/2017

 
Picture
On Friday 13th November local writers met at NEA for the second of the Broken River Writers Discovery Workshop series, this time with Jake and Sam Bowtell of Killer Pig Productions.  The focus in this workshop was to discover more about writing for film.   Having immersed themselves in film production since 2009, if not before, Jake and Sam proved to have much to share with the group.  

Jake and Sam introduced us to the story behind, then screened their film 'Slope'.  It proved to be a wonderful springboard for a rich and vibrant discussion during which we seemed to switch seamlessly between responding as viewers and responding as writers.  While the session included a rich 'film appreciation' element, the writers' process was regularly interspersed and explored by Jake and Sam.  

We left Jake and Sam's thought provoking discovery workshop with an understanding that writing for film includes writing for silence; that the excitement of film making relates to its many facets -  with considerations about the use of particular actors; sound; lighting and so much more involved in film production.

​Thank you Jake and Sam!
Watch out for Carla Gardner's writing about this event on the Broken River Writers' Facebook Page!

1/9/2016

'It's a slippery slope" ...Shane Douthie on Jake and Sam Bowtell's new film

25/8/2016

 
​Monday's Wangaratta Chronicle featured an extended article by Shane Douthie on 'Slope', a 48 minute feature length drama by local filmmakers, actors and NEA associated musicians Jake and Sam Bowtell of Killer Pig Productions.  

Like me, many NEA members take a continuing interest in Sam and Jake's developing film making careers and enjoyed their music during their group Bow & Tell 'Brothers' sets at the Makers Market area during the Wall to Wall Festival weekend.  

"Slope", which 'looks at the ongoing 'Ice problem from a young person's perspective', was funded by a $10,000 Ice Action Grant provided to The Centre in Wangaratta in 2015. Former students of The Centre and also GOTAFE Benalla, Jake and Sam collaborated with The Centre's VCAL students in developing the screenplay and did all the cinematography, editing and soundtracking. Sam also played the part of 'Keefy' and Jake the part of 'Pelican'.   
Link to stills shot during the making of Slope
"We built this story from the ground up, working with the students who contributed a great deal of ideas and thoughts in the process. ......Obviously we wanted to illustrate the danger and the threat that this particular drug poses to communities right around Australia, but we were conscious also that the people involved in this larger story of addiction, are people, not monsters'.  (Jake Bowtell interview from Shane Douthie's extended report). 

'Slope' is to be launched this Friday, August 27th, at a sell out screening at the Wangaratta Cinema Centre.  Hopefully it will screen in Benalla very soon.
