‘Red Rock Run’ Heads for Production in Western Australia After Marathon Development Relay


Sports and family drama film ‘Red Rock Run’ heads for production in West Australia after a marathon development relay.

“ Red Rock Run,” a heartwarming drama film about a girl with dyslexia who seeks to win her father’s attention by taking on an ultra-marathon, has been green-lighted for production later this year. “The story is inspired by my experience in 1976 of running in the first kids’ team to enter the Black Rock Stakes, a 120 km marathon relay race to push a barrow of iron ore from Goldsworthy to Port Hedland in the Pilbara of Western Australia,” said Sheilds. “’Red Rock Run’ embodies the essence of Australian storytelling, offering international appeal and providing family audiences with a compelling insight into the human spirit,” said Screen Australia, director of content, Grainne Brunsdon.
