"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."

Quality

Advertising

"We are not yet at the point where our size, our being the drama industry, is sufficient to support full time professional crews, and that is very very important."

Time

Battle
