The final 2007 board meeting for the Film Finance Corporation has approved a record number of 22 projects generating $72.94 million worth of production in film, television drama and documentary.
FFC chief Brian Rosen said the chosen projects feature some of Australia’s leading filmmakers including Scott Hicks, Bryan Brown, and Rachel Ward.
‘With the introduction of the producers offset film makers are now empowered to get stronger deals together. This has led to many more projects being presented to the board than we can finance, but that is a sign of a healthy, dynamic and energised industry,’ he said.
‘The slate reflects the boards desire to back strong creative teams, with box office potential and diversity.’
