ROLL CAMERAS:

A creative film team headed by producer Russell Cunningham, centre, joined thousands of spectators at Central Park for the 2022 Stawell Gift carnival in preparation for a feature film based on the race. The RLC Motion Picture Entertainment team said the Monday finals exceeded expectations and the carnival’s history was self-evident. The company has planned a fictional feature about a comeback athlete set at a Stawell Gift with a working title ‘Starting Blocks’. Mr Cunningham is pictured with, from left, Felipe Teplitsky, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, Ethan Panizza and Clayton Watson.
