IT’S A LONG WAY TO THE TO

Wide Angle Tasmania were having a seminar where three successful producers visited to give their stories and answer questions.

Date/time: Friday July 13th 5.30pm

Venue: The Venue, off Wooby’s Lane, 2nd floor, Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart

Join Producers Lynda House (Kokoda, Ned Kelly, Proof, Muriel’s Wedding), Alicia Rackett (Blue Rocket Productions) and Martin Brown (Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet) for an informal chat about life in the film industry, and how short term setbacks can provide an opportunity for learning. The aim of this seminar is to open up dialogue that allows emerging practitioners to gain insight into the resilience required to stay in the film making game.

Me and Lord Boofhead attended and were educated. Then we attended the function afterwards and were well refreshed.

Acknowledgments

With assessment underway what better to do some sucking up? Too bad this entry is written after the submission date and cannot be included for assessment...


First and forthmost I must offer my sincerest gratitude to Bill Hart for his guidence, tutition and generous availability to do so. Without his assistance the outcome of my project would be significantly less and I'd probably have produce a rather tacky short film without it.

Next I must offer special thanks to Leigh Hobba for taking the time to look at my work and provide feedback even though I'm no longer one of his students.

Guy Dishington, Hugh Thomas Reid, John Farrow and Sam Rollands have been wonderful assistants who've helped me setup the projection screen and test the Flash component of the installation. Without them my task would have been significantly more arduous possibility leading to further insanity.

My mother was saviour with a sewing machine because there was no way I'd have the dexterity to create a screen that size by myself. Aaron Horsely has been a wonderful and knowlegable IT technican whose resourcefulness has been most appreciated in those critical times of need.

Thanks are also extended to Matt Warren, Raef Sawford and the combined classes of E-Media and Electronic Installation for their feedback during the critiques.


And an honerable mention shall also be given to Bill Hammond for tearing himself away from his cigarette breaks to show me how to use the video studio.
