The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco is the film adaptation of the cult, comedy novel of the same name by John Birmingham.
It's a comedy about 'that' sharehouse - the one that everybody has experienced at some time in their lives. Where the people living there were your surrogate family and you constantly found yourself in crazy, hectic and hysterical situations, usually while nursing a massive hangover. Tassie Babes is a film you can see yourself in, like you're looking at a part of your own life - seeing situations you remember, doing things you sometimes wish you could forget, all while having the best time of your life.
Imagine if Judd Apatow and Edgar Wright made sweet, sweet love together and from that sweaty and passionate night of lovemaking came a baby. Well, The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco would be another baby, that kind of resembled their baby, at least enough for nurses at the hospital to be confused and potentially send the wrong baby home with the wrong parents. Which would mean that years from now we'd have to give the other baby back and it would be all weird... but you get the point.
JB, Stacey and the misfit housemates of York Street are casually coasting through life, attending uni classes, working part-time jobs, partying way too much and subtly ripping off the system to pay their rent.
After kicking out the medieval fridge killers who lived downstairs, they need to find a new housemate and they need someone fast.
What they don’t expect is Jordan, an amphetamine fuelled, nipple rubbing, Celine Dion listening fraudulator who is about to turn their unsuspecting and cruisy lives upside down.
After only a short time in the house Jordan has vanished, having stolen the rent money, the TV and most of the housemates meager possessions. He’s left in his wake a path of destruction and illegal schemes that are now biting the rest of the housemates in the arse. As if that isn't bad enough, the house has now been descended upon by government investigators, criminals, angry karate lesbians and worst of all, real estate developers. It seems Jordan has left little, illegal time bombs all over the place and no one has any idea when they are going to go off.
The housemates have one week to sober up, find Jordan, save their house, keep themselves out of jail and stop Elroy from becoming a uniballer. All this while exams are looming and JB finally realises he might have a shot with Stacey.
They'll have to use all their unusual and dodgy skills to pull themselves out of this one, but it’s not so easy when half the law enforcement community are already watching you.
John Birmingham is the international super author of He Died With A Felafel In His Hand, Dopeland, How To Be A Man, Off One's Tits, Leviathan, After America and many, many other brilliant novels.
John also writes for numerous news outlets and has a riveting and high-brow blog called Cheeseburger Gothic.

Below are a selection of reviews for the novel The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco:
Terry Pratchett
This year's funniest book (1997).
Who Weekly
Share-household hell…Everyone drinks to excess, takes too many drugs and gets through life by abusing the welfare system…Birmingham has a wonderful, grungy comic talent and many of his scenarios will make you laugh out loud.
Financial Review Magazine
Another cult classic.
The Sun Herald
Good, grotty fun.
Or perhaps you'd like to check out some reviews from people who have purchased the original novel:
Read it twice in a week.
This is probably one of the funniest books I've read in the past year. If you've ever lived in student housing or flat-shared with a few people, you'll know exactly what he's talking about. Most of the scenes gave me flashbacks to my own demented home-share days, and the characters are more like caricatures in one way or another of somebody you know or have known. Had me laughing out loud on the train at 6 in the morning. Quite an achievement...
Flatshare from Hell.
What a great, funny book, I couldn't read it on the tube as I was worried about the looks I was getting from my fellow passengers. Make sure you read this in company who will appreciate you rolling on the floor. It makes any flatshare seem bearable. Although run for your life if you find your vinyl hotpants have gone missing.
The funniest book I have read since 'Felafel'.
Absolutely superb. I can't say anything bad about this book at all. Buy it, read it, love it, never flat share with anyone else ever again.
Laughed my ass off.
I read the updated version from England. It was absolutely hilarious, none of my house sharing experiences were this bizarre. I would recommend this to anyone who likes sit-com, slacker, student, good guys struggling against authority and everyday life humour.
I always thought Australians were mad - now I know!
This must be one of the most hilarious books I have ever had the good fortune to read. It's light, fast and funny, very funny.

The Filmmakers
Many years ago this group of dorks met each other while Zenon was directing, and Karl was writing a TV piece called "Takoyaki City". They needed some advice on things so called Bec. She's known for being able to answer questions about anything weird in the Brisbane film and TV industry and believe us, Tak City had some seriously weird stuff.
This trio then made another short film together for Tropfest and Mitsubishi and then some TV commercials and a swag of other stuff. They decided at that point they should work together forever and started Wickham Park Productions so they could develop feature film and television projects which usually tend to be about share houses, drinking, debaucherous activities, call girls, invisible elephants and superheroes. Don't say we didn't warn you.
ZENON KOHLER - DIRECTOR
Zenon’s passion for filmmaking began as a teenager after watching the making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video. At first he thought he wanted to be a make-up artist, spending his weekends attempting to terrify his neighbours with gore. His make-up fx were so good he decided to become a graphic designer. However, he preferred his pictures to move, so eventually came to his senses and moved into the world of film and TV. He has directed and animated TV commercials and short films for over 15 years whilst working as a VFX supervisor and art director in some of Australia’s most successful VFX companies. In 2013 he was named one of Australian Creative magazine’s 20 Power Creatives.
Five things Zenon could never live without:
1. Horror toy collection.
2. Bacon
3. Red t-shirts.
4. The sense of smell.
5. Coconut water.
BEC DAKIN - PRODUCER
Bec's first realisation that people could actually make movies happened when she was around 8 years old and family friends made a feature film, screened it in a real cinema and even had a soundtrack. To this day Bec still knows the lyrics to the theme song. It's probably because she listened to that damn cassette tape over and over again for years. So if anyone ever needs to know any of the songs by Mr Mouse's Mysterious Cardboard Cutout Versatility Band then just drop Bec a line, I'm sure she's happy to sing them for you. It was also around this time that Bec realised that films weren't just cartoons and happy things, when she saw the film version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show - this was hardly appropriate viewing for a small child and it's gone on to make her the slightly warped person she is today.
Five things Bec could never live without.
1. Sleep.
2. Food, especially pork products. Wrap it in bacon and Bec will eat it.
3. Soft toilet paper. Without it, life is really not worth living.
4. The word dude.
5. Number 5 used to be cheese but then Bec was diagnosed as lactose intolerant. Bastards. So now number 5 is air for breathing, that's how much cheese meant to Bec.
KARL MATHER - WRITER
From the moment he was terrified by the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Karl has been in awe of the power of film to touch our emotions, take us to other worlds and generally fuck with our minds. From Citizen Kane to The Hottie & The Nottie, there is something magical in every film ever made. Just the mere fact that it got made is miracle enough (especially in the case of The Hottie & The Nottie), if it then makes us cry or laugh or think, even better.
Karl's day job is writing TV commercials for an advertising agency. He's been doing it for more than twenty years in the UK, Germany, Japan and Australia. But he still finds time every day to write his own stuff.
The short films he's written have won awards all over the world. In addition, he has been the proud recipient of the coveted Golden Knight at the Malta Short Film Festival on more than one occasion - so suck on that oh ye of little faith.
Five things Karl could never live without.
1. Cheese.
2. Everton F.C.
3. The Domestic Ninja.
4. Naughty monkeys.
5. Open heart surgery.

The Adaptation of The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco
The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco was a novel on Producer Bec Dakin's radar back in the late 90's. She managed to convince Birmingham to allow her the original rights to the book back in 2004 by meeting him in the cafe near the Metro Arts building in Brisbane and having a conversation that went like this:
Bec, who was very nervous because she was sitting across from her favourite author, had a Ralph Wiggum moment and for no reason blurted out 'I grew up in Ipswich.'
John, sipping his orange juice, looked at Bec with sadness and pity in his eyes (or he might have been hungover, I'm not sure) and said 'Me too. I'm sorry. I understand. Okay you can have the rights to the book.'
Bec held onto the film rights for many years trying to find the perfect screenwriter and director for the project but no one had the same vision for the book that she had. Then one day she met Writer Karl Mather and Director Zenon Kohler. This unholy trinity went on to produce short films and TV commercials together and Bec had finally found the right team for the Tassie Babes feature film. Bec relinquished the screen rights to the novel as an individual and as a team, under the name of Wickham Park Productions, they re-optioned the rights to the novel. And the rest as they say is history.

Why this particular story?
Our team love comedy films. We also love great stories that are relatable and The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco is that story.
There's nothing better than the feeling of sitting on your couch in your underwear, eating a pizza, drinking beer and watching a funny film (as in funny ha ha, not funny weird, because that's a very different feeling especially when you're wearing your underwear). It's that feeling you get from seeing characters you recognise and relate to that fills your heart with love.
And this film really does have it all - quirky characters, bulldozers, babes, crossbows, cockroaches, babes, nunchuck wielding karate lesbians, criminals, babes, drugs, hangovers, babes, vibrating butt plugs and explosions. Surely you've come across all of these things before in your own life, right?

How The Funds Will Be Used
We were lucky enough to receive a small amount of development investment from Screen Queensland back in 2011, by winning the Chauvel Award for Books to Screen. This development investment and our own personal funds have gotten us this far and have allowed us to create a fantastic script and some preliminary casting. As you can see we've been writing the adaptation for a few years. We wanted to get the script just right, ensuring we are doing the original book justice.
We want the The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco to look like a high-end commercial film even though we'll be making it on a shoestring budget. This film has a large cast and 'large cast' and 'shoestring budget' are not normally words that you hear in the same sentence. The film is an ensemble piece and to lose characters would not do the story or the film justice. We owe it to our backers and the fans to make the best film we can for the small budget we have.
Our Pozible backers are the first people we are reaching out to, to assist in making this film a reality. The rest of the funds to finance the film will come from Bec, Zenon and Karl, pre-sales for the film (all of you cross your fingers with us on this one), Screen Australia and Screen Queensland.
Funds from Pozible will be going towards general production costs for the film. We've listed a small overview of some of the areas below but please feel free to ask us directly if there is anything you would like to know about in detail. We are more than happy to answer any questions you might have. We're oversharers.
- Casting
- Actors Fees
- Crew Wages
- Sets & Props
- Wardrobe
- Locations
- Camera Equipment
- Lighting & Gripping Equipment
- Sound Equipment
- Editing
- Colour Grade
- Online
- Sound Mix and so on.

The Challenges
Writing and producing a comedy adaptation of a novel is no easy challenge. Many films over the years have tried and failed miserably. Comedy is one of the most difficult genres to produce and we are in no way trying to gloss over the complexity of what we are planning to achieve. We understand this will be a difficult project. What sets The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco apart from other comedies is the strong story base in the existing novel that we have adapted closely for the screenplay. The story structure, the characters, their personalities and the comedy already exists. Our challenge is to now take this amazing base and mould it into 90 minutes of cinematic enjoyment.
And now the big question. What happens if the rest of our financing doesn't fall into place? Well we plan to make the film anyway. We will look to different avenues to finance the film. If it means Bec has to sell a kidney on the black market, Zenon donates his brain to science and Karl has to write segments for the home shopping network - we will find a way.
