Getting in early with this little article from the Herald Sun (I think) 09/08/2004 Short-listed McDERMOTT FILM Funnyman Paul McDermott is up for an AFI award with his directorial debut, The Scree. The former Doug Anthony All Star was today nominated for best director of a short fiction film, which he also wrote. He described the flick as a "gothic horror children's fable''. It is dedicated to the late actor Ruth Cracknell, who read McDermott's poem on which the film is based. The AFI Awards are at the Regent Theatre on October 29. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 4 | I thought it was very well done. I didn't know what I would think of it and was a bit suspicious when I went to see it but yeah, I was really impressed. Sounds were great and colours and such as well. Congrats to him for the nomination. Should be interesting to see how he goes. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 3 | The AFI screenings are going swimmingly... three out the four short fiction films turned up blank so they couldn't be shown!! Don't you think they would have thought to check the film when it arrived? Stoopid :frustrat: | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 3 | I think they have got them scheduled to be screened again in a couple of weeks, so hopefully they will actually have copies to show this time! If not, the one shown will not win by default because voting will still take place, but if nobody has seen the films then it will all be guess work… not really very fair. I hope they get their act together… | ||
