Beast In Me - Sneak Peek

Beast in Me is the latest feature from filmmaker Tyler Atkins, following his acclaimed debut Bosch & Rockit. Starring and co-written by Russell Crowe, with Daniel MacPherson and Luke Hemsworth. Produced by John Schwarz, the film tells the story of a former mixed martial arts fighter confronting loss, identity and redemption inside and outside the cage.


Join Tyler and John for an exclusive behind-the-scenes conversation about bringing this ambitious production to life. Featuring never before seen clips, the discussion will explore the film’s creative process, its performances, and how Beast in Me expands the scope of Australian cinema on the global stage.
