Father and daughter acting talents Barry and Miranda Otto will star together in the new Australian film South Solitary.
Written and directed by Shirley Barrett (Love My Way, Love Serenade), the film follows Meredith (Miranda Otto), a 35-year-old unmarried woman who arrives at a remote lighthouse island in 1928 with her uncle and new head keeper (Barry Otto).
Bad weather and misadventure leave her marooned with her only companion the sullen and withdrawn assistant keeper Fleet (Fleet), played by Marton Csokas (Romulus My Father).
A tender, faltering courtship ensues.
Shooting on South Solitary has started in southern Victoria, and will continue over six weeks at Cape Nelson and Cape Otway.
The feature is produced by Marian Macgowan (Two Hands, Death Defying Acts) and Miranda Culley (Catch A Fire), with Sarah Radclyffe (The Edge of Love, Les Miserables) as executive producer.
