Jonathan Ogilvie Bets on ‘Also-Rans’ in IFFR Opener ‘Head South,’ Upcoming ‘Geebung Darts Club’: ‘I’m Interested in Troublemakers’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Jonathan Ogilvie talks semi-autobiographical IFFR opener ‘Head South,’ starring Ed Oxenbould, and upcoming heist movie ‘Geebung Darts Club.’
It’s a story about also-rans, to use this racing term, because there is nothing to win,” he tells Variety about the International Film Festival Rotterdam opener, which sees schoolboy Angus ( Ed Oxenbould) falling for a girl and for post-punk music in 1979’s New Zealand. Ogilvie, who went from working on Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” to directing “The Tender Hook” and “Lone Wolf,” also got to relive his very first – and pretty disastrous – concert in the movie. Emma Slade, Lee Hubber, Gary Phillips, Mark Vennis and Mat Govoni served as executive producers.
