INDUSTRY NEWS

Deluxe Australia launches Industry Support fund 
Deluxe Australia launched the Deluxe Heartbeat Fund, which encompasses and extends the company's industry support programs. One of the key aims of the Heartbeat Fund is help filmmakers articulate a clear vision of their target audience at the outset, and execute accordingly. "Australian films are facing specific challenges in cutting through to audiences," Deluxe MD Alaric McAusland told IF. "We want to work with filmmakers on features where they have a clear vision of audience engagement and that's built in as an integral part of the budget at the start, not as an after-thought." Click Here to read the full article on Inside Film

9 Tips for Your First Time on Set 
Your first TV role. It's nerve-wracking. Everything you have trained for has been working toward this. You get your call time, show up (after not much sleep), wait for hours in your tiny room obsessing over your three lines waiting for them to call you. You are about to fall asleep when the second AD finally knocks on your door and says, "We are ready for you!" and walks you to the location. Most actors have no idea what to expect when they walk onto a huge TV set for the first time. This isn't a student film. There are dozens of people on the crew, and they already know each other. Everyone expects you to know what you are doing. But the truth is, you have absolutely no idea. Nothing prepares you for the reality of being on a real set. There are so many things going on that it's hard to focus on your acting. So how do you prepare yourself mentally? Click Here to read the article reported on Backstage
