Just a small correction.
I read many film articles on line and always follow Australian films that are being made. Many producers often talk about how they made a film for X amount of money and how films can be made for very little.
Just to clarify: They were not made for that amount of money. Low budget films are made because passionate people give their time and expertise for free. No one on a small budget film is doing it for the money so please stop making the public believe a film can be legitimately made with out ALOT of volunteers.
It undermines the integrity of the Australian film industry. Yes we make great films for low budget. What the producers should talk about is how these films are made because it's people care enough to support great directors and artists and literally work around the clock to make dreams come true.
It's not about money.
So don't mention budgets in your interviews.
