ROUGH CUTS 2009 is officially OVER- WHAT A YEAR!
2009 Wrap Up-
This year saw the extension of the short cut Film Festival into a monthly Film night where filmmakers from Fairfeild and other parts of Sydney would meet to discuss film and display their work. It was bought to you by FCC, PYT and CraigFX.
THREE FEATURE FILM PREMIERS- We were lucky enough to premiere three Aussie films- Bleedthrough, Two’s Company Thieves a Crowd and Licence Revoked.
Filmmaking in the Vietnamese Diasporia- We had a great discussion about filmmaking in and out of Vietnam and watched Journey from the Fall.
The year also saw Rough Cuts regular Alecks Trofin get accepted into AFTRS, Tresa Ponnor attend AFTRS, Dr Will review two awesome films on line, the development of multiple TV programs by Rumble Films and Eleanor Winkler (GM of PYT) work on Khoa Do’s new feature The Italian Embassy (working title).
AWARDS- Khoa Do’s Missing Water won the CRC Award at Sydney Film Festival and the television program (Review with Myles Barlow) that Craig Anderson was the Associate Producer on won two AFI’s- Best Comedy and Best Performer.
