It is a passion of mine to promote the Australian Film and Television Industry.
How fortunate Australian is to have such enormous talent in Cast and Crew for the making of Television Series, Movies, and Feature Films. How unfortunate it is that this talent is very underutilised. As a writer member of AWG I am proud to say they are doing their part to support writers in Australia.
Australia has a relatively small population compared to many other successful western county movie makers. This makes it extremely difficult to make an Australian quality television and motion pictures product and break even or make a profit. There is not enough viewer audience to pay for a high budget quality product. Not enough sales opportunities to market the product of Australian made television or feature films in its county or origan.
This means Australian audience also miss seeing Australian content on their screens.
I once read and agree low budged films often are less successful than the big budget one’s. That makes sense as they say you get what you pay for. Quality means paying the price.
It is noticeable that the long running Australian television series are often the ones that are sold to the USA or the UK. The ones that do not get the abroad sales are often scratched by networks as non-profitable. Not necessary non quality.
How do we promote our Australian Film and Television Industry? Well this is a Government, Community and Business responsibility. Government can lead the way. We have the talent to grow our economy on an industry that has wasted underutilised talent. Australia has a beautiful county to show to its own viewers and the world. 
Australia has talent.
