AIRBAG’s Stephen McCallum launches 1% feature film at South Australian Film Fest tonight

After sellout crowds at Toronto Film Festival, and the BFI London Film Festival, AIRBAG director Stephen McCallum returns home to debut his feature at the South Australian Film Festival, tonight.

1% tells the gritty tale of Paddo, the heir to the throne of an outlaw bikie gang who must betray his president to save his brother’s life. The film is produced by Jamie Hilton and Michael Pontin of See Pictures and Ticket To Ride.

Following the film’s premiere, 1% was acquired by prestigious US distributors A24 and DirecTV to release the film in North America, as well as Altitude in the UK, and Klockworx in Japan. A24’s previous purchases include the Oscar best picture winner, Moonlight.

The script was written by Matt Nable, who stars in the film alongside Ryan Corr, Abbey Lee and a large ensemble of Australian talent.

Says Adrian Bosich, managing partner, AIRBAG: “It’s brilliant to see the success Stephen has had with 1%, and we’re super excited to have his talents available again in the commercial realm.”
