Griffin Theatre Company raises funds for 2016 program with launch of new ‘Intimacy’ film via RE

Strategic brand agency RE, has launched ‘Intimacy’, a short film for Griffin Theatre Company’s annual donation appeal. One of Sydney’s oldest theatre companies, Griffin relies on donor support to continue its performances and artistic development programs.

RE in collaboration with Jack Naylor of Collider created a confronting and compelling piece that explores what intimacy means in its many forms. With a script by standout Australian playwright Suzie Miller and a cast of exceptional Griffin talent including Huw Higginson, Miranda Tapsell and Lucia Mastrantone – the film encapsulates the experience of being at Griffin.

VIEW THE FILM

Based in King’s Cross, Griffin is the epitome of intimate theatre. Its small theatre space has a capacity of just over 100, so the audience gets a much more up-close-and-personal experience at Griffin than at other venues.

Ticket sales only raise 35% of operating costs so each year, the Company makes a call for donations. And with reduced federal funding this year, Griffin hopes to garner more support from the wider community.

The Company has launched the careers of many Australian writers and premiered legendary plays including iconic Australian stories such as Lantana, The Boys, Holding the Man and The Heartbreak Kid.

The film will be distributed to newsletter subscribers and hosted on Griffin’s social platforms.
