According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Abbie Cornish is part of the judging panel for Bryan Brown’s short film festival, The Reel Deal, which will take place at the Revesby Workers Club on August 11.

Cate Blanchett has pulled out of the judging panel for Bryan Brown’s short film festival, The Reel Deal. Blanchett, who had agreed to be part of the event in Revesby in August, will instead be working overseas when the event is on. “She was really keen,” a spokeswoman for Brown’s event said, “but unfortunately she had to pull out at the last minute.”

Other stars including Abbie Cornish, Georgie Parker (Blanchett’s replacement), Khao Do and Wil Anderson will form part of the judging panel, alongside Brown himself.

The Reel Deal film festival awards will take place at the Revesby Workers Club on August 11. There will be free screenings of short films at the club on July 29.
