The First Seeds Sown
We are looking for a horse to use as a part of the Vendetta 19 project. If you or someone you know owns a horse that will let someone ride it for a short distance, please send us a DM. Limited funds but looking to cover costs. The horse would be needed in Yarraville Victoria in October.
We’d just like to take a moment to appreciate our incredible cast of prison officers!
Including (Big Tom) Tom Kay, the imposing Steve Carroll, head Prison Officer, Matt Jackson and “The Destroyer” Anthony Koutoufides!
Three hashtags to keep an eye out for in the leadup to Vendetta 19

We truly want to thank all of you who have been on this journey with us now that we have finished filming Vendetta 19. We had a massive team of artists and crew, and all of them gave such huge amounts. The dream for Vendetta 19 is that this piece will be picked up by a streaming platform who will offer it the opportunity to be produced and screened in its entirety for you all to enjoy. In the meantime, the pilot episode will be presented at eight cinema style screenings between October to November, and we’d love to have you all attend. Some are already sold out, and we anticipate all events will be fully sold before the screening dates. By coming along to see vendetta 19. You will also be supporting further ideas and productions that we hope to achieve in 2025.
Thank you everybody for following and we look forward to posting some incredible teasers and footage later this week.
We have had so many emails and messages from people who missed out when various sessions have filled up and sold out, that we have done the impossible and added even more sessions to accommodate you all!!
So far we have been able to expand the Yarraville screening to a now an extra 50 seats by moving the original screening from the Trocadero Cinema to their lofty Grande Cinema, and now – we have done it again!! This week we were excited to announce that the Brunswick session of Vendetta 19 SOLD OUT at the Teller, so – we’ve added another session!!
Don’t miss out on your chance to see the pilot episode of Vendetta 19, and get your tickets online in advance to avoid disappointment.

As we head toward the screening season for Vendetta 19, we couldn’t be more excited by the diversity of venues we have been able to secure. The third screening date will be held in Burwood East, at an impressive venue, with state of the art screening and sound equipment called The Chapel.
As one of the larger venues we will be screening at, we are truly hoping that you will all round up your posse’s and bring a group to this event where we will have not only the screening but will also have Q&A with lead actors including feature actor, Sam Warren, playing the role of Claude Taylor in the pilot episode, Roy Maloy, playing Valentine Keating, Tom Levi playing Squizzy and Shylie Arzouan playing Dolly Gray.
Tickets are essential and we highly recommend buying in advance to avoid disappointment.

There are so many professionals of so many different backgrounds on Vendetta 19, and one of the key players is without question, Deb Robinson, head historian of the Geelong Gaol Museum and host of historical true crime podcast Locked up with History, has been an irreplaceable participant of the making of Vendetta 19! Her wisdom, her historical and cultural advice has all helped to make this project so much more authentic and accurate than it would have been otherwise. Make sure you follow Deb, and enjoy her other historical true crime work on serial killers and murder stories.

We want to take a moment to thank the Herald Sun for their support. As an independently funded project, the support of the Herald Sun has expanded our opportunities to hopefully find a streaming platform who will help us make the last step to seeing Vendetta 19 put into full production. The pilot episode will be available in select cinemas this summer, with cast and crew present, and we look forward to seeing you all there!!
In 2024 production began on the pilot of a new TV streaming series the depicts the full lead up to the 1919 Fitzroy Vendetta.
Moving through the late 1890s with the rise of push gangs, the rise of the opium dens and Chinese lotteries, the dominance of the police unit known as the terrible 10 in 1900, the female matrix moved in to the landscape of the criminal underworld by 1905, and then the ultimate bloodbath that led to only one person remaining alive and not in prison, Vendetta 19 presents the most incredible Australian true crime story of all time.
As the Vendetta raged across Melbourne’s inner suburbs until the end of 1919 leaving only Squizzy Taylor as the most notorious organized criminal and True Crime figure alongside the likes of Al Capone’s, Ned Kelly, and the Kray twins.
Vendetta 19 will drop in selected cinemas across Melbourne and Adelaide in October 2024. Please share to your networks and follow Vendetta 19 for updates
