We are the only state that does not have a State Film Corporation there to support the commercial industry. |
The dichotomy between art and industry is totally dysfunctional in terms of film. |
The State Film Authority will be there for film as industry only, as is the case in all the other states, except Victoria. Victoria is moving more now into supporting non-commercial films. |
It will never be Hollywood, the same way people think it should be. I think it will grow and it will be healthy and it will expand into more than one production house. |
Ten years ago I was not heavily involved in the film world but on reflection it was a boom time with the mineral boom happening, so there was immense growth for industrial training films, documentaries to do with the mining, and the outback world. |
I see any production of any nature being good for the development of the whole industry. |
