Here I was thinking, "I'm the only Australian here."
Yes, you have to start somewhere.
How does this site work? I think it tends to work best if you're in the States, particularly NYC. Especially if you can go to the workshops and stuff advertised. Does it work for me being overseas? Sometimes, I haven't worked with or met anyone from this site though. I do get to hear things that I wouldn't hear in the Australian industry. Kim writes a hello once in a while which is nice (he's the dude who's running this show).
As filmmakers, IMHO, the world should be your industry, not just coz you're living in Oz, that it should be the Australian one. Besides, I've gotten more interest in my shorts from filmmakers (and compliments too!) State-side, than Australia (figure that one out!). Though I think you've got that idea already being here.
