I think its time to make Australian movies that actually appeal the masses.

Might be better to have an industry wide pay per view VOD model. Is that what OzFlix is supposed to be? Filmmakers already see little return from the box office.

It's like Walt Disney said, 'We don't make movies to make money. We make movies to make money to make more movies'.

Treasonable idea. Exhibitors set ticket prices and I can’t see them jumping over the candy bar at the idea for films they’re not wild about at best of times. And low budget doesn’t mean low quality. Make them cheaper at the cinema bends the producer over further than they’re currently positioned. Must have been theorised that it would increase audiences for the indies and low budget films. But if it’s whilst charging less to see them, who would put their film in the cinema ? It’s already a dinosaur model. Make it cheaper to buy electricity and the savings will cover the entire family entertainment budget for the week and all the bottles of wine . There . Solved .

This is b.s! No Aussie films should not be cheaper... As someone who has worked in the industry a long time this is a step back... I've seen films with millions of dollars budget seem worse than a cheaper one with good acting and story

All you need is a great script and to give the unknown actors a crack. Rather than having to get a face to get the budget.
