RE: [ozmidwifery] educating the community

Hi fellow listers, I am wondering if there is any way we could feature in the “Tropfest” short film festival in Sydney. The target audience is young adult. It attracts absolutely massive crowds into the domain – great coverage for the cause – That would be the cheapest way to make a film and get a chance to be in the spot light. It has to be an original production and only created for the tropfest. It could probably be used for other purposes afterwards though. Did anyone else on the list go to the last tropfest ?  It’s an extraordinary event to attract novice filmmakers to produce short films.  The longest one I saw when I attended this year was about 10 mins.   They are not mean’t to be professional.  The Tropfest organizers love films that contain good shock value, thought provoking and comedy. The average budget for the films that were shortlisted and shown at the festival were from $500 to $10,000. Most of them looked like home movies but had clever camera work etc reflecting the skill / talent of the film maker.     Julie Clarke Childbirth and Parenting Educator Transition into Parenthood 9 Withybrook Pl Sylvania  NSW  2224 T.

Another alternative is to convince some budding film makers (anyone got one amongst their clients?) to put some time and energy into making such an AD at reduced rates. It literally costs thousands of $$$ to produce a half minute ad for TV. Hi all Couldn't help myself here....why not talk with Nic Edmondstone??....:-)) Cheers Tina P.
