Hi

As we wrap for 2019 we close out the year with some fresh Aussie screen news to keep you going until January 2020.

This month's Location Spotlight features the dramatic and breathtaking Snowy Mountain region of New South Wales.

Ausfilm warmly welcomes another new company to its growing membership this month: Supervixen.  A talented Sydney-based team who specialise in direction, design and VFX. This takes the tally of innovative and creative companies and government agencies within Ausfilm's membership to 50 (but who's counting!). 

Our thoughts go out to all the victims of the wildfires in California, NSW and Queensland over the last few months. If you'd like to help by donating visit these two sites to find charities that support families, animals or organisations: Australian Bushfire Charities and USA Wildfire Charities.

Be safe and enjoy the holidays.

The Ausfilm Team
