Filming has begun on Australian director Bruce Beresford's comedy-drama Overture in and around the Western Australian city of Perth. Luke Bracey (Elvis, Hacksaw Ridge) plays a successful stage designer who returns to his small Australian hometown to say goodbye to his dying mother, with other cast members including Bryan Brown, Susie Porter and Celia Massingham. Oscar-nominated director Beresford, known for titles such as Driving Miss Daisy, Mao's Last Dancer and Ladies in Black, said of the project: "When I wrote this story , my aim was to create a compelling story, with a range of characters that provided plenty of humour." The start of filming was announced by lead production company Ambience Entertainment and major financiers Screen Australia and Screenwest. "Bruce Beresford has built a career on creating distinctive Australian stories that connect with audiences and travel the world. With Overture, Bruce has created a moving family drama set against the spectacular backdrop of Western Australia. I can't wait to see how this talented cast and crew bring this authentic story to life,” said Screen Australia COO Grainne Brunsdon.
