Producer Annie Kinnane expresses a common complaint in the industry: Often by the time she and her friends hear about a new Australian film it.s been yanked off screens before they had a chance to see it.
Instead of just griping, she.s doing her bit to increase awareness by launching a Facebook page this week, entitled Australian Films You Will Want to See.
She.s encouraging her Fb friends and the wider industry to post an item as soon as they.ve seen a film they can recommend.
That initiative is in a similar vein to When Did You Last Pay to See an Australian Film at the Cinema?, a Fb page created earlier this month by My Mistress producer Leanne Tonkes.
Tonkes is asking her industry peers to nominate the last Aussie film they paid to see, as opposed to freebie previews, Aacta, funding body or post house screenings,...
