After Glendyn Ivin’s Penguin Bloom, the adaptation of Bradley Trevor Greive and Cameron Bloom’s novel starring Naomi Watts, Andrew Lincoln and Jacki Weaver, reached top spot in the Aussie box office in recent weeks, Alt.vfx has released a VFX breakdown of the work the company did on the film.
The drama was produced by Emma Cooper, Watts and Made Up Stories’ Bruna Papandrea, Jodi Matterson and Steve Hutensky.
Released in cinemas in January 2021 by Roadshow Films here in Australia, and on Netflix worldwide (selected territories), the film follows Watts as Sam Bloom, a young Sydney woman who broke her back after a railing snapped and fell head-first six metres onto a concrete floor while holidaying with her family in Thailand in 2013.

Few sectors of the media suffered as much as cinema during the coronavirus pandemic, and going by recent ad spend data for December last year, a full recovery remains away off.
Cinema, like much of the entertainment industry, was one of the first things to shut down when the pandemic hit, and it may be the last to recover. Ad spend for December was down 74.2% year on year for cinema, according to SMI data.
