We are busy working on two applications:
One for AFC production funding and the other to be approved by the Documentary Australia Foundation as an official film that can receive Philanthropic support.
To anyone else out there working hard to get an application in on time- good luck!

AIDC Day 1
We have decided to track back the three days at the AIDC:
Day 1: Wednesday
It was a really big day yesterday. There was lots to do and lots to see. Lots of people to meet and lots of coffee to drink...
I went to the round table discussion with Katrina Sedgwick (director of the Adeaide Film Festival) and considering neither of us had been to one before, it went really well.
Katrina was extremely informative about the investment fund, and I truly believe our stars and timelines are aligned. We will be submitting an application to the AFFIF as soon as possible.
Andrew had similar luck with Mitzi Goldman and Susan McKinnon from the Documentary Australia Foundation. He received really positive feedback from our draft application and once we get back to Canberra we'll submit our polished application and hopefully be approved by the foundation so we can go on in our search for philanthropic support.
Opening night drinks are always good - especially when the drinks are free - and last night's events were no exception. We met some really nice people, caught up with our friend Sophie from Closer Productions, met her (production) partner Bryan, watched an amazing sunset, got drinks spilt on me and almost lost my bag.
A great night, hopefully followed by another great day.

No Good Night but hopefully plenty of Luck!
I haven’t gone to sleep tonight, and our flight is at 6:50 am so I don’t think I’ll get there, plenty of time to rest on the plane...we are off to the AIDC 2008 in Fremantle. Never been to West Aussie, heard its a great place so I’m looking forward to it.
Last night was Tropfest 08, sorry...last night was SONY TROPFEST 08! It was packed in Canberra- a 20,000 strong crowd and for once the weather was hot and sunny! Sometimes I forget if its a marketing event or a short film festival, either way I suppose its great to bring so many people together to support short films. I must admit I snuck away during the interval to have a coffee but congrats to all the winners and a big shout out to the two local entries from Canberra who made it into the top 16.
Today Phil added links to the new bios and should have them up and running tomorrow, if we can fit it in between the flights, DOCO2012 seminar and drinks. Whilst Phil worked on the website, I edited our Documentary Australia proposal. I can finally say that it is done! And I am looking forward to meeting Mitzi Goldman and Susan MacKinnon on Wednesday at the round table discussion. If successful Into the Shadows will be given official recognition by the foundation which will help us in our venture to woo philanthropic investors.
My right pointer finger is sore from typing, my neck is creaking and my bag is not packed...time to sign off and get everything else ready for the trip.
Look out for our daily updates whilst at the AIDC.
