in regional NSW. Assistance will be considered for amounts of 50%
of the budget costs of filming in regional NSW, not exceeding $50,000
per production. The Fund can be applied to for the production of feature
films,television series and serials, documentaries, miniseries and
telemovies. Each production must shot for at least one week in regional
NSW. From 1st July 2001, there will be $500,000 pa available to assist
film makers to cover the additional costs of shooting on locations
in regional areas. For more info contact FTO on 02 9264 6400 or download
the guidelines from www.fto.nsw.gov.au
As of October 2001.... The
Regional Filming Fund (RFF) has approved seven productions since it
commenced in January this year. The Fund was conceived in recognition
of the benefits that film production contributes when filming in a
regional area.
The fund is open to Australia feature films, documentaries, television
series, serials, mini-series and telemovies. Television and documentary
productions must have a network presale and feature films must have
a distribution guarantee and have secured the balance of their budget.
To be eligible for the RFF, productions must shoot in a regional location
for at least one week. The amount of funding allocated is determined
by the contribution the production will make to the regional area.
The guidelines have recently been updated and are available on the
FTO Website, www.fto.nsw.gov.au

Indent
is a new entertainment network for young people which aims to help
