​“The Hunters Club” is a gun toting, fist fighting, skateboarding, Australian action feature film, shot exclusively in Queensland, around Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
​
One of the unique aspects of this production is that it showcases the lesser known sport of Longboarding for some of the action/stunt sequences. Longboarding is an offshoot of street skating, with riders using a much longer board. With the right setup, a longboard can give the feeling of surfing on hard surfaces and even allow the rider to achieve speeds exceeding 100kph (60mph).
​
This is entirely independent production, and as with many independent productions, we were working with the constraints of a very low budget - probably better to say micro budget given that the whole film was shot and finished for less that $100,000 AU.

Given that the budget was so low for an action feature, we have done everything we can to make sure the final product will have the look and feel of something with a much larger budget. With the help of Donnie Vaughn, a stunt co-ordinator with over 20 years experience,  as well as the skills of longboarding legend Stephen Daddow, we believe it really has helped to lift this above the usual look associated with ‘low-budget action’

The film was shot on the RED Epic (the same camera Peter Jackson used for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ as well as many current big budget Hollywood features) Also, to help give the film a truly cinematic quality, a selection of Lomo Anamorphic lenses were used. All visual effects were done in house to keep the cost down and the final film has been mastered at 2K - the standard for any cinema print.
