Together with Icon Film Distribution I have five double in-season passes to giveaway to Australian film maker Rowan Woods’ (director of The Boys and Little Fish) newest movie Winged Creatures.
Starring Forest Whitaker, Kate Beckinsale, Guy Pearce, Dakota Fanning and Jennifer Hudson, Winged Creatures follows the lives of the people who were in a diner during a violent armed robbery…
A moment of random violence erupts in an ordinary Los Angeles diner. The survivors find that the meaning of their lives has changed and that they must find trust in a world that now seems unforgiving. No matter how much their families and friends attempt to understand, these individuals must follow their own paths to recovery.
To go into the draw for a double pass (valid in all Australian State capital metro areas from 9 July 2009) please leave a comment below (none will be published).
First in first served. Winners will be notified early next week. One entry per person please. Sorry, only open to people residing in Australia.
Update: thanks for your interest, the giveaway has closed, passes are on the way to the winners.

Rebekah Horne is the Australian head of MySpace, and Vice President of Fox Interactive Media. She also oversees the IGN, Rotten Tomatoes, and Ask Men websites.
Last night she spoke to Mike Walsh as part of the Fourth Estate Domain On the Couch interview series, in Sydney. Here’s some of what we heard.
- Yes, Horne has a MySpace profile, and refers to social networking rival, Facebook, as “the other site”, or “F Book”…
- 78 per cent of the MySpace audience in Australia is 18 or over.
- MySpace memberships grew six per cent in March compared with 3.6 per cent growth for Facebook.
- There are some 40,000 Australian bands on MySpace, both signed and unsigned acts.
- MySpace widget, or application, developers have been guaranteed recompense for their work, being the revenue generated from ads associated with their widget.
- Australia is a great market for creative content producers, but producing a video series for Web TV, such as quarterlife, is still expensive, and it can cost in the order of $200,000 to produce a series of three to five minute “webisodes”.
- The recently launched MySpace TV is interested in hearing from creative content producers who have ideas.
- MySpace Mobile is “going gangbusters” receiving two million page impressions out of a total of one billion impressions for mobile.
- PlayStation Portable is the most popular device used to access MySpace Mobile.
