METRO SCREEN PEOPLE
Tutors, Mentors and Filmmakers
Metro Screen has added a few new pages to its website for your enjoyment. We have a Metro Screen People page and a Metro Screen tutor page both clickable from the right coloum on the home page.

These pages give an insight into the array of talented people who make up the Metro Screen filmmaking community.

Highlight from these pages:
Luci Temple
How did Metro Screen impact on your confidence as a filmmaker?
Metro Screen's Raw Nerve initiative was absolutely crucial for my transition from writer to filmmaker. Writers are probably the most isolated element of the filmmaking process, which means we simply don't meet people - DOPs, Soundies, ADs, PAs, etc - that others do naturally on set. I'd considered directing several times over the years, but the fact that I had no contacts made it very difficult to realise. The backing by Metro Screen a) gave me validity, b) greenlit the film, c) meant I could convince others to work on the project based on it being competitively selected for production support, and d) I had a supervising producer to turn to as I muddled my way through the production process.

I walked away very happy with the film I'd made, and confident that I could do it again. In fact, after the Chauvel screening of ‘Don't Panic’ I was so bouyed by the positive reception that I made a last dash effort for the YFF deadline and we (myself and producer Annmaree Bell) pulled a quality team together within a week for the submission. I no longer see this as a hurdle, and I look forward to making many more.

JAMES BLANNIN-FERGUSON
2020 in 20seconds winner on Open Day

His winning pitch:
Creative Australia:

Ned’s dead, Dundee’s done, let’s cut the cliché crap!

We need more home grown slick flicks, Shine, Gallipoli, The Castle, stuff with talent, plot and depth of character.

Let’s not just be equipping ourselves with fancy cameras and a pricey budget. Let’s start deploying our ideas, connecting with the audience, expressing our experiences and exploiting our exclusivity. You need lights and cameras, but ultimately you need action!

Get the picture?
