Robert Connolly wil mastermind the information flow about The Turning very carefully. This stage is mostly about negotiating the rights with Tim Winton’s people so that respect and goodwill outweighed the power of cash.
Books at MIFF for 2013 kicked off with a panel discussion of the evolution of Tim Winton’s The Turning, to be premiered at the film festival. The discussion was led by roving reporter Sandy George, and the panel consisted of producer Robert Connolly, publisher from Penguin Ben Ball, and directors Rhys Graham and Jonathan auf der Heide, who each made one of the short segments that comprise the film.
