After not much sleep on Thursday and some last minute DVD burning issues on Friday morning I have handed in an application for ScreenACT funding.
Phil and I have not had any funding for the documentary thus far but as we are approaching the business end of the film (final stages of post-production), funding would allow us to complete with Archival footage and a professional sound-mix.
The Into the Shadows story is an important document on the state of the industry and needs to be told in this twilight time: new government, merging of film funding bodies, debate over the tax offset and so on.
So the application is in and the wait is on. In the mean time I will be posting videos from my trip to MUFF 2008 on Youtube and Facebook. Keep an eye out for them.

The big Aussie Film Myth
Local flicks more popular than credited
Michael Bodey | June 12, 2008
THE notion that Australians dislike Australian films is a myth, according to a research study commissioned by Film Finance Commission Australia.
The qualitative and quantitative study found Australian films did not suffer an intrinsic disadvantage against international films, despite the study's focus group research throwing up some disparaging remarks about local films.
"The qualitative research looked at the perceived wisdom; the quantitative research showed the perceived wisdom is wrong," said John Berenyi, managing director of Bergent Research, which conducted the study.

What do you think? If you hear a film is Australian are you turned off or turned on?

New year is here
Happy New Year! Fireworks are over and the Christmas tree is coming down for 2007, so here it is, 2008 upon us already.
We have been relaxing with family and friends which has been great but now its time to focus on the documentary again and focus on one thing in particular- finance! Yep, we are sucking in the footage, cutting a reel and preparing treatments and budgets for grants.
First cab off the rank...THE SCREENACT 2008 PROJECT FUND. We need to fill out some paper work, write a proposal, treatment, cut a reel and have a budget. Only twenty odd days to go so we better get cracking!
