Netflix Unleashes the Chilling Series "The Survivors"

Netflix Unleashes the Chilling Series “The Survivors”

Welcome to Evelyn Bay. It’s a postcard-perfect Tasmanian slice of heaven. The cliffs are towering, and the ocean is breathtaking. However, the local pastimes include harboring decades of psychological trauma and dark secrets. If your watchlist has been lacking a moody, atmospheric Australian noir that doubles as a masterclass in small-town claustrophobia, Netflix has you covered. All six episodes of the limited series “The Survivors” are officially streaming worldwide. Adapted from Jane Harper’s massive bestseller, this isn’t your standard run-of-the-mill police procedural. Showrunner Tony Ayres (Clickbait, Stateless) describes the show as a bit of a trick. “I often describe the show as a Trojan horse. It’s a family melodrama disguised as a murder mystery.” Dead Men (and Women) Tell Tales Fifteen years ago, a single, catastrophic storm tore through Evelyn Bay. It left two people drowned, a young girl vanished without a trace, and a community permanently scarred. Unable to bear the crushing weight of survival guilt, Kieran Elliott packed

Director and Cinematographer Boris Mojsovski Talks Film and I Will Find You in Our Interview

When you’re watching a thriller that leaves your knuckles white and your throw pillows thoroughly abused, you have the Director of Photography (DP)/ Cinematographer to thank. They are the visual architects of a story. They are tasked with transforming a script’s raw tension into the haunting frames that keep us up at night. I recently had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Boris Mojsovski.
