Saccharine, shot at our studios in 2024 has just dropped its first official images, featuring Midori Francis in the lead role.
From Victorian director Natalie Erika James (Relic, Apartment 7A) and producers Anna McLeish and Sarah Shaw (Snowtown, Run Rabbit Run) Saccharine follows Hana (Francis), a lovelorn medical student who is terrorised by a hungry ghost after taking part in an obscure weight-loss craze: eating human ashes.
Saccharine will hit cinemas first before streaming on Stan in 2025.

🏆 AACTA TRIUMPH FOR BETTER MAN! 🏆
Last night at the prestigious AACTA Awards, Better Man took home Best Film, cementing its place as a standout achievement in Australian cinema.
It also won Best Direction (Michael Gracey), Best Lead Actor (Jonno Davies) and Best Supporting Actor (Damon Herriman) for a total of nine AACTAs.
We’re so proud that this extraordinary production came to life on our stages.
