And just like that SF3 2024 is off and away after our opening weekend in Melbourne. The MINA and SF3 Festival was an incredible night at ACMI. Loved meeting new filmmakers to the SF3 family, connecting with old ones including Ronald James Baculo , Susie Sparkes and Callum Pritchard – who made his first SF3 film when he was just 13 and has now graduated with Honours in Film Studies!!! And my film, Career Fight from Bus Stop Films blown up on the ACMI big screen! But the best is working alongside Max Schleser, a true pioneer and world-class innovator and one of the OGs in this space. Congrats to all of our filmmakers- Ronald, Joel Wilson, Jack Weltman-Jansen, Lea Savannah Phillips, Juanita Deely, Michael Shlain, Kosseca Films, Greg Coates and Mitchell Noga.
