For those of you that are wondering how we are going with the Koalas documentary: we have a rough cut and are showing some test audience in the next few weeks while we pitch for market place attachments. It takes longer to make a film on the smell of an oily rag, but excited to get there, we have wonderful impactful stories in the film, and this is our final end of year push for DAF donations, to pay for things like sound design, artwork and other post-production bells and whistles
