AceShowbiz - The Fox is a film directed and written by Dario Russo, set in rural Australia. The plot centers on Nick, portrayed by Jai Courtney, a heir to a wealthy landowner, who faces turmoil when he discovers his fiancée Kori, played by Emily Browning, is unfaithful. He encounters a mystical Fox, acted by Olivia Colman, who offers a bargain: if Nick spares her life, she will assist him by pushing Kori into a magical hole that transforms her into the ideal partner.

Following the Fox's advice, Nick witnesses Kori's transformation, but her newfound peculiarities soon cause him to question the consequences of his choice.

The film was spotlighted at SXSW during a panel featuring Dario Russo, Emily Browning, and Claudia Doumit. Russo shared insights about the production, highlighting the freedom found in filming in Australia. He stated, "You can get away with things in Australia that you can't get away with anywhere else in the world."

Emily Browning emphasized the benefits of government funding. According to Russo, the application involved submitting a form with the film’s concept, which he summarized as "Fucking foxes."

The production took place in Adelaide, described by Russo as “the bottom of the world.”

Presented at the Deadline Studio during SXSW, The Fox exemplifies how Australian film incentives can facilitate unconventional storytelling.
