While Australia has produced an array of highly acclaimed films over the years, it seems that our films have been struggling to connect with audiences to achieve financial success -- so what needs to be done to save the future of our industry?
This documentary will investigate the changing relationship audiences have with Australian films, and will seek answers to one of the most pressing questions within our industry today -- why has it been 20 years since an Australian film has reached number one at our box office?

Film is not a democracy, and artists won't flourish until film culture is dismantled and Australian culture is reclaimed by artists from the media.
Independent Digital Media is the only movement that will bring Australian movies back to a standard of quality. Don't advance film, advance culture.
