CHECK out this promo video for Geelong by Ninja filmmaker Rob Baard.
Baard recently filmed on the Geelong waterfront for his latest Ninja franchise with speedboats, stunts, villains, a batpod, femme fatales, martial arts and a time-travelling, familiar mohawked spiritual leader in mayor Darryn Lyons.
He says the Interlude to the Ninja series shoot, which features Lethal Weapon actor Danny Glover, is spearheading not just his industry efforts but also those of Geelong.
Baard is planning a new feature film and attracted drawn pre-sale offers from the US and other countries already.
“We’re doing some serious international stuff,” Baard told the Independent.
“I’m so proud of everyone involved and the support we had from locals … it’s this type of support that helps us put up a decent argument to keep shooting here.
“There’s been several offers and incentives overseas to shoot in the USA, including South Carolina, I really want to keep it local and bring the stars here.
