The great Robert DiPierdomenico once said that he’d only turned up to the Brownlow for the free feed. Ferenc Puskas would approve of such sentiment, so we are striving for the free feed and the red carpet at Australian film’s night of nights.
To get there, we need votes, and to get votes we need you to be in ‘the industry’. Are you a current member of AACTA? Do you know somebody who is? Are you an actor, director, producer, cameraperson, screenwriter, script editor, publicist or animator? Is your partner or friend working in film or TV? If so, we’d love some votes in the noble furtherance of THE CHICKEN AND/ OR BEEF FOR CAM AND /OR TONY.
Here is the voting form.
It looks a lit like this, and you have to select five films
I’m a big fan of Lorin Clarke’s ‘Not Only Fred Dagg But Also John Clarke’, (vote for it and see it during its current cinema season) as well as Constantine Costa’s ‘The Golden Spurtle’. Lorin got my four voter. We are unsure how many 5-voters we’ll need for our dream of chicken or beef, but we think it might be surprisingly close to fuck all. Hence this post, the video above, and ‘Oscars campaign’ that included texts to every vaguely filmy person whose number is in my phone. If that was you — sorry, and please vote. Cam and I promise to post some kickass selfies with Cate Blanchett in the background, as well as bandy the word ‘AACTA nominated’ in all future correspondence.
