MARTA DUSSELDORP TO PRODUCE AND STAR IN NEW ABC DRAMA BAY OF FIRES
Bay of Fires which will be filmed next year in Tasmania.
Set in the wilds of Tasmania, Marta will play lead character Stella Heikkinen whose fall from grace is as spectacular as it is life threatening.
Betrayed by her own company and in immediate danger - single mother of two Stella has no option but to move her young family to the last place on earth anyone would expect. This town isn't the kind of place they put on postcards, this is a tiny community rife with simmering feuds, crime and sometimes, murder.
Filming will commence in Tasmania in mid-2022 and the series will air on ABC TV and ABC ivied in 2023. Bay of Fires will be distributed by Fremantle International.
Marta Dusseldorp, Co-creator, Producer and starring as Stella Heikkinen said:
"The opportunity to collaborate and create an original Australian drama with the extraordinary Andrew Knight and Max Dann has been an amazing journey. Executive Producer Greg Sitch and Producer Yvonne Collins, along with Sally Riley, Louise Smith and the entire team at the ABC have been paramount to bringing Bay of Fires into being.
"My company Archipelago Productions partnering with Chris Oliver-Taylor at Fremantle is a natural fit and with Screen Tasmania, Screen Australia and Film Victoria's belief and investment we are now preparing for production on the beautifully rugged West Coast of Tasmania in 2022."
