Cinema Viscera presents a detective
film noir with a difference...

 "Noir fans, swarm! A super stylish, playful and sassy salute to the era of hardboiled crime stories and intrepid gumshoes." - Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian

Struggling stand-up comic Samantha "Sam" Slade (played by Samantha Hill) and reclusive writer Becky Holt (played by Perri Cummings) are thrown together when Becky experiences strange phenomena in her own home, and Sam, desperately broke, poses as a private eye investigating the case for cash - but will Sam's first case be the death of her?

Cinema Viscera's first feature film is a loving homage to the film noir detective and screwball comedy pictures of the 1930s and '40s, shot in beautiful black-and-white, yet set during our very different, increasingly complex internet age of the 2010s, where a woman with something to say can so quickly become a target for stalkers and trolls with malevolent intent.

After screening around the world on Amazon Prime throughout 2019, Trench is now available to rent or buy on iTunes in Australia and New Zealand. We're looking into possibilities of a Blu-ray release in future.

Investigate Trench's official trailer...


Trench  makes a sold-out world premiere at the Setting Sun Film Festival!

Picture
Back in April, we were incredibly proud to see Trench selected as the first ever feature film to screen at the Setting Sun Short Film Festival, to celebrate the best fest in the west's 5th birthday!

Trench made its World Premiere on Sunday April 27th, 2018 to a packed sell-out crowd at the gloriously art-deco designed Sun Theatre in Yarraville. The film received a rousing response, and was followed by a Q&A with stars Samantha Hill and Perri Cummings and director Paul Anthony Nelson, hosted by Stig Wemyss.

Starting Lean...

How did we get the confidence to get Trench up and running so quickly?

We are indebted to the Lean Filmmaking Accelerator Program, run by the lovely sibling duo of Kylie and David Eddy, which guided us through an accelerated pre-production period.

As part of this process, we wrote the first draft of the film in three weeks, and shot a "rough draft"
version of the full feature (currently 83 minutes!) in two days -- as a valuable tool to see how the script walks and talks, and to gain some targeted prospective audience feedback for the next draft of the film. Then, we made some edits on the script, did some reshoots, and tested it again!
