While Australia has produced an array of highly acclaimed features over the years, it seems that for decades Australian films have been struggling to connect with audiences to achieve financial success – so what needs to be done to save the future of our industry?

Advance Australian Film is a documentary investigating the changing relationship audiences have with Australian films, and will seek answers to one of the most pressing questions within our industry today – why has it been 20 years since an Australian film has reached number one at our box office?

What do you think we need to change for the better? Check out the ‘Have Your Say’ section on the website www.advanceausfilm.com and engage in the conversation. Please post comments on the forum, write on the FB wall www.facebook.com/advanceaustralianfilm  use the #advanceausfilm on twitter and follus on @advanceausfilm. Everyone who makes a pledge also has the option of sending in a video blog describing your thoughts on the subject that may be used in the film’s closing credits! Please contact me for further information on this.

 

As well as the cinema-going public, we also want people the industry to get involved – if there are any struggling filmmakers out there we want to hear your stories. And the same with established professionals - do you think it’s time we look for some solutions? Please help us spread the word and raise some awareness!

We need to change audience perceptions, reinvigorate that past connection and ultimately Advance Australian Film.

 

It is really hard to raise funds for emerging feature filmmakers and it’s also very pricey to produce a film. So please donate what you can – you’ll receive regular updates and exclusive content on the progression of the film if you wish, and you'll also be helping to support the future of the indusrty! The funding goal is the bear minimum needed to kick off the the full length feature documentary, so exceeding this goal will mean we will be able to hire better equipment, and pay for archival footage and music licensing.

Help support the film that is seeking to support the industry.
