A question...
Mon, 14 May 2007, 08:01 amI'm quite bored at the moment and need a new project. I was wondering whether anyone out there has any ideas for something *big* for the industry.
I was thinking:
An independent reviewing/awards system - akin to the Green Room awards, or something.
Or
An online video competition - like stuff you see on Youtube, but more for the local talent in Australia.
Anyone got any comments, ideas, thoughts... I'm willing to put in the admin time, but would love to collaborate with anyone out there who is willing.

Mon, 14 May 2007, 01:44 pmOne of the principal reasons that creative standards may seem to be below UK and US (after money) is the size of our industry. To make a living in this country our performers writers and so on largely have to have other jobs. This means that they have less time to hone and develop their talents because the time performers etc in other countrys spend doing that ours spend earning a living, paying the rent. The top end of the industry maybe 5% can do it the rest can't. Obviously we produce the talent, how many Australians are earning a good living in the UK and US.
Oh and if you are so talented you would need to drop your standards to win an award who are you?
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
