It is funny to think that this all started so that I could screen my first film THE ANGRY PENGUIN in front of an audience. This small film festival has now become an institution in the heart of Melbourne and is a great support to film makers who are trying to get their stuff screened in front of an audience. Not just an internet audience, but an audience that will be there in person so that the film maker can view first hand the reaction that his film will have in front of a crowd.
In 2009 the plan is to hold the festival over two nights. The first night will be dedicated to australian shorts, and the second night will be dedicated to australian shorts.
I am hoping to get as many sponsors on board to keep the festival alive and to develop a bigger prize pool for the winners and finalists of the festival.
If you would like to support the festival come along to the night in 2009. Keep checking back on the web site for regular updates or drop me a line at vogeldesign@optusnet.com.au and I will sign you up to the monthly newsletter.
Kind Regards and thank you for the support
Tom Vogel
Director of the Angry Film Festival
