Featuring Sigourney Weaver, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Asher Keddie, the Australian-made miniseries The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart is out now on Amazon Prime. With some of the most recognisable shooting locations being in NSW, from the Southern Highlands to the Hunter Region, CATO provided Traffic Management, Security and Safety for the production.
The Screen NSW supported miniseries is directed by Glendyn Ivin, who CATO have previously worked with on Penguin Bloom (2020), and comes from the producers of Nine Perfect Strangers, which CATO also provided services for in 2020-2021. Released less than a week ago, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart is already receiving international acclaim.
“The series, which is sensitively written, expertly performed by actors young and old, and beautifully shot — if you cut out the people, it might serve as a promotion for the Australian tourist board — is in no rush to give up its mysteries, and by drawing out the drama, what’s obvious in the story comes off as proportionally more subtle.”
