Hello
Did you know that there's a territory in Australia that has completely clear weather for almost half the year? That's right, the Screen Territory team boasts the Barkly region with its sweeping pastoral grasslands and mountain ranges in our monthly Australian Location Spotlight.
Ausfilm continues to be part of the change to support, celebrate and advance understanding of First Nations people and culture. Check out this month's First Nations Spotlight featuring the talented Leah Purcell; a proud Goa-Gunggari-Wakka Wakka Murri woman, a multi-award-winning author, playwright, actor, director, filmmaker, producer, screenwriter, showrunner, and a legend of the stage and screen in Australia. Thanks to Screen NSW for supplying this inspiring story.
We've got the latest news from our sensational Ausfilm Members: Animal Logic, Jungle Entertainment, ILM, Luma, Method Melbourne, Rising Sun Pictures, Stage and Screen, Xm2 Pursuit, Screen NSW reports that Nine Perfect Strangers made in Northern NSW drops on August 18 and Film Victoria showcases the Netflix Melbourne-made TV series, Clickbait starring Adrian Grenier. Plus much more!
Happy reading and stay safe,
The Ausfilm Team
