Alan Clay's short film, Moontan, was shot in Wanganui, New Zealand, in October 2006.

Two street clowns get swept up in an occupation of New Zealand's last Victorian theatre, which brings them into a playful confrontation with the police.

The 15 minute short film premiered at the 2007 Fringe Film Festival in Wellington, New Zealand, last July.

Moontan will be in the Market at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in France in February.

Moontan is in the process of being submitted to a range of other major festivals worldwide, so check back on this site
for information on future screenings.

A DVD will be launched later this year, once the festival releases are underway. This will include both the 15 minute short and a 30 minute rough cut which was screened at the Screen Producers Fringe in Brisbane last November, plus a twenty minute 'Making of Moontan' documentary and other extra features.

Our first feature film, Dance Sisters is now casting for our two lead actors... A female dance duo overcomes adversity and a Kings Cross cyber sex cult, to win the Australasian song competition. On this site you can check out an outline of the script, and reviews of the book.

The script for Dance Sisters is an adaptation of Alan Clay's second book of the same name. The script is at third draft stage, and we are currently looking for co-production partners and a deal with a record label to release the music from the film.
