RACHEL WARD'S PALM BEACH TO COMMENCE PRODUCTION

Palm Beach

A new feature film directed by Rachel Ward will begin filming at Sydney’s iconic Palm Beach and its surrounds from next week until early July.

Written by Ward and Joanna Murray-Smith, the film stars Bryan Brown, Sam Neill, Greta Scacchi and Jacqueline McKenzie, as well as Swazi-English actor Richard E Grant.

Palm Beach is a drama-comedy about a group of lifelong friends reuniting to celebrate a birthday, with Palm Beach providing a stunning backdrop for the unfolding drama. The good times roll with loads of laughter, lavish meals, flowing wine and fantastic music, but slowly tensions mount and deep secrets emerge.

Director Rachel Ward said, “Palm Beach is filled with colourful characters and a plot that explores the complexities between different generations and life-long friends.”

Palm Beach received principal production investment from Screen Australia in association with Create NSW, and was financed with support from Destination NSW and Spectrum Films.
