The package is in the mail

Two big deadlines on the same day!  Always happens this way doesn't it?

Anyway, they weren't for the same project and Michael had to do most of the work in the final sprint to get the Screen Australia submission into the mail.

Writing a synopsis and director's statement post filming of the film was a really strange and annoying experience.  We've shot the film and just need help financing the post production, can't we just show them the film, they'll love it and want to support us? ... nice try.

Post production continues to move forward and we will finish Kanowna regardless.

Anyway...

No money, no worries!  One has to ask, why do it??  Why put yourself through the stress of making a film with no money, not just any film, a period film!
It must link back to the underlying urge to create, to make films and to express yourself.  Kanowna developed from the seed of an idea and then from a wonderful life changing experience.  It took a number of false start journeys, with a number of people who promised much and delivered little.
Now, we are only days away from actually shooting this film.  Wow!  It is amazing how things transpire.  The core mix of people involved has always remained the same, but we've added a few excellent people who have helped get us to this point.
We've made many discoveries about making period films along the way and we will remember those lessons next time.  For the moment however, I am extremely excited, somewhat nervous, but prepared and ready to make a great little film.
