Other key creatives on SWINGING SAFARI are cinematographer Brad Shield (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, The Avengers and The Wolverine) and Oscar-nominated make-up artist, Rick Findlater who worked on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Hobbit trilogy, Unbroken and The Chronicles of Narnia.
SWINGING SAFARI is produced by Al Clark for Wildheart Films and Jamie Hilton and co-producer Ester Harding for See Pictures. Principal production investment from Piccadilly Pictures and Screen Australia, in association with Screen Queensland and Cutting Edge. Financed with support from Create NSW.
