Melbourne a website devoted to |
The aim of this website is to provide some documentation about the various independent filmmakers (note: directors only) that have existed, and exist now, in Melbourne, working separately to the commerical film industry. I classify a filmmaker as "independent" if he or she has shown an individual spirit and committed attitude to realising their particular cinematic vision, especially if without official financial support. Long live the creative, individual spirit on show here! - Bill Mousoulis |
