The film fans who remade Jurassic Park: how an Australian town got behind a $3,000 mockbuster'
Briefly

Jurassic Park: Castlemaine Redux is a playful, community-driven homage to the 1993 film, directed by John Roebuck with a scant $3,000 budget. The film showcases a passionate group, including Ian Flavell and other local actors, who have come together after a staffroom discussion about how to lift their spirits. As they re-create scenes, they humorously deal with challenges like the aged cast member, Charles Sanderson-Eales, who has outgrown his role. The project has taken three years, illustrating pure fandom and commitment to filmmaking.
This backyard mockbuster has been a labour of fandom three years in the making, born out of a staffroom conversation... someone suggested crocheting. Roebuck had other ideas.
With a $3,000 budget, John Roebuck's Jurassic Park: Castlemaine Redux aims for charm despite continuity challenges as child actor Tim grows into adulthood.
