Short films get Screen Australia funding
A comedy and a drama/thriller are the latest recipients of funding from Screen Australia’s Short Film Completion Fund.
The films, Bloomers and Test Drive, were created by Michelle Law and Corrie Chen, and Lynne Vincent McCarthy respectively. Both films were given a share of $60,000 and both are in post-production.
Films supported through the Short Film Completion Fund include Yardbird (Julius Avery, Michael Spiccia, and Jessica Mitchell), which was selected for Cannes 2012 and was the winner of the Sydney Film Festival’s Dendy Award, and Spine (Sophie Miller, and Sheila Jayadev), which was the winner of Best Short Film at the 2012 Melbourne International Film Festival.
The films:
- BLOOMERS

A pubescent girl fast tracking her way into womanhood uses somewhat unconventional methods to deal with her changing life. - TEST DRIVE
Producers Samantha Jennings, Angus Stevens
Writer/Director Lynne Vincent McCarthy

Screen Australia
A relevant number of Australian short movies have been broadcast in Italy during the last te years, modest commedies anyway interesting, but never something that would have unchained the Australia’s potentialities, even though existing in the Country. Why? Personally I don’t know, but I suppose the American and UK movies get the biggest slice of the cake in the world, since there is a class of producers, mostly Jews, who afford the movies-market in a different way. And the entire environment of the movies is in their hands, despite others’ capacities who don’t find a way to propose valid workmanships as screenplayers, actors, technicians and so on. these lobbies don’t leave space to others, especially in US, where i.e. I submitted a very competitive screenplay on Australian’s contents, never taken into consideration.
