ScreenACT application

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.

Office Space

Today we are working from our new office. No it’s not one of those minimalist design penthouse view offices that have views of the CBD. It’s in Phil’s renovated backyard garage, but nonetheless it’s an office space and its working well for us.

Last week we submitted a funding application to ScreenACT. It’s the first time the ACT government has issued funding through ScreenACT specifically for film projects...so fingers crossed. If we receive the funding we will be able to finish the production stage of our doco. If we don’t, we will be hitting up the credit cards again - either way this film will be completed.

On some other news, as you may have noticed we have a new addition to our website - Our news blog! Will we be adding entries to this more often! It will be a great way to keep up to date as our project continues and it means you can now comment on the website and the film.

We have also cut a promo reel and some clips for Into the Shadows so keep an eye on this space because they will be up soon…until then go out and make a film! You know you want to.
