Frank Shields Quotations

There are more film schools here than any other city, pumping out more aspiring filmmakers, and there is nowhere to show their work.

There is no distribution outlet for young bloods to exhibit,

Over the past five years in particular new websites have been popping up all over the world, selling DVDs mainly and some downloading films into your TV set. Bigger and better sites are on the way. I have been designing such a site for several years now which could go global within a year or two.

I think of the present digital/IT evolution happening in the global industry as the most exciting period I have ever witnessed. And somehow new ways of distribution will come into play but let's start with reopening the Chauvel for the independent filmmakers of Sydney and Australia. In the wealthiest city in Australia, can't we raise $250,000 or so to keep our film culture alive?
