Screen Territory and Sydney Acting Studio are excited to welcome Jeremy Sims to Darwin for an exclusive 3-day intensive Masterclass. In 2006, Jeremy produced and directed Last Train to Freo. The film received 3 AFI Award nominations, including Best Actor. In 2010 his second feature, the WW1 epic Beneath Hill 60 was nominated for 12 AFI Awards, 5 IF Awards and 8 FCCA Awards, including Best Director and Best Film across all three awards. 2014's Last Cab to Darwin, which he co-wrote, was a financial and critical hit. It received 13 AACTA (AFI) award nominations, with Michael Caton winning Best Actor. Jeremy's last film Rams, starring Sam Neil, Michael Caton, and Miranda Richardson, was released in 2020 and has since become a worldwide hit.

A trip back home to the Gulf summons all of Magenta’s demons to congregate in one place where she is forced to confront what has been buried for so long. It’s time for her to move forward. But her past has different ideas... Is she strong enough to handle the truth?
