Oscar-winning director, Ron Howard has recently visited Logan City to talk with the Federal Member for Forde Bert van Manen, and Communications Minister Paul Fletcher about his upcoming film, Thirteen Lives.
Thirteen Lives is based on the cave rescue in Thailand where 12 members of a junior football
team and their soccer coach were trapped inside the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang
Rai Province.
Some of the filming will take place in the Forde electorate, with the Gold Coast Hinterland doubling for Thailand.
The production has been supported by $13 million from the Morrison Government’s $400
million Location Incentive program.
The Location Incentive is bringing a host of international screen projects to Australia and aims to create tens of thousands of Australian jobs in the
screen industry over seven years.
