South Australian Story VINES Receives Early Attention from FilmInk

FilmInk Highlights VINES as Industry Interest Builds Around SA Feature

In its recent coverage, FilmInk has highlighted the emotional depth and creative ambition behind VINES, noting the significance of E. Bennett Walsh bringing his decades of international experience to the film.

We’re pleased to share that FilmInk has highlighted the announcement of E. Bennett Walsh joining our upcoming South Australian feature film, VINES — a meaningful early nod from one of Australia’s most respected screen publications.

For a project in active development, recognition at this stage is significant. Walsh’s decision to make VINES his independent Australian debut reflects a strong belief in the script, the creative direction, and the depth of talent emerging from South Australia. With more than thirty years of international experience and a global box-office track record exceeding USD 3 billion, his involvement signals exciting creative and industry potential.

The FilmInk article underscores what we’ve long believed: that South Australian stories resonate far beyond our borders. VINES blends the emotional complexity of contemporary relationships with the evocative landscapes of the Adelaide Hills — a narrative grounded in place yet universal in its reach.

Media interest at this stage helps build momentum not only for the film, but for the broader work we’re doing across Sunup. We’re grateful to FilmInk for amplifying this milestone and recognising the ambition behind the project. Their coverage contributes to growing awareness of the film and supports South Australia’s position as a vibrant and internationally connected creative hub.
