Entropico, an Australian creative firm that last year enjoyed hit status with its first feature-length production, “Onefour: Against All Odds,” is establishing its own film and TV unit Entropico Originals. The new shingle will have Sydney and Los Angeles outposts.
Documentary feature “Onefour: Against All Odds” is an examination of the drill rap phenomenon that is popular in Pacific Islander and working class parts of Australia, the genre’s most popular Australian group and the specialist police force that was set up to stop them performing live. The Gabriel Gasparinatos-directed film became the one of the most-watched movies on Netflix in Australia last year, adding to its cultural impact and popularity.
Entropico has been in business for a decade and positions itself as a “creative company, seamlessly bridging the realms of advertising and entertainment, with clients including brands, creative agencies, broadcast platforms, labels, and artists.”
