1% One Percenters: Search for a Screenplay

It's been 30 years since a biker movie was a box-office hit in Australia but if film maker Martin Brown succeeds it won't be too much longer before we see a big budget biker film based on the 1984 Milperra massacre. 1% One Percenters Search For A Screenplay is a documentary that follows Brown's almost masochistic attempt to develop a feature film about the Milperra biker massacre that took place in suburban Sydney on Father's Day, 1984. On that day, two rival outlaw biker clubs, the Comancheros and the Bandidos, engaged in open warfare at the Viking Tavern. After a violent shoot-out in the pub car park in full view of terrified members of the public, six bikers and a 15-year-old girl lay dead. Film maker Martin Brown has had a rich and varied career in the entertainment industry including a 10-year association with BAFTA winning director Baz Luhrmann as art director for Strictly Ballroom, co-producer of William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet and lead producer of Moulin Rouge.
