It will never be Hollywood, the same way people think it should be. I think it will grow and it will be healthy and it will expand into more than one production house.

In 1975 Australia was producing things like Picnic at Hanging Rock, in other words films that I would consider still some of the finest products to come out of Australia. I think that our quality now is less than it was then.

I think the long-term effect of video on cinema is good in that what we are now getting up there on the screen is of superior quality. Videos are just so much more sensitive to the world.

I see any production of any nature being good for the development of the whole industry.

I am very much in favour of video because the quality of production of video is now so good. It is a different experience to sitting in a cinema.

For the first time in one place in the west, there were important people from all the other states, all aspects of the film world.
