Summary
- New film 'Rosaleen' to explore forbidden love.
- Musical drama based on Sydney Opera House origins.
- Filmmakers Nick Waterman and Meg Washington lead project.
Filmmakers Nick Waterman and Meg Washington, known for 'How to Make Gravy,' are embarking on a new cinematic venture with 'Rosaleen.' This upcoming feature film, produced by Schuyler Weiss of 'Elvis' fame, promises a romantic musical exploration of a hidden chapter in Australian history.
The narrative of 'Rosaleen' is rooted in a forbidden love story from 1950s Sydney. It centers on Rosaleen Norton, famously known as the 'Witch of Kings Cross,' and Sir Eugene Goossens. Goossens was the esteemed British conductor who spearheaded the ambitious project of building the Sydney Opera House during his peak career.
Waterman is directing, writing, and producing the film, while Washington is contributing as writer, producer, and composer. Washington also recently penned original songs for Rebel Wilson's film 'The Deb.' The creative team expressed their excitement to bring this 'forgotten true story' and 'extraordinary chapter of Australian history' from obscurity into the public consciousness.
