Ahhh Yes, unfortunately I have met with Nat Geo and they have advised too many humans in mine and not enough animals...lol...
I do have an offer of international distribution for Animalis, but no one to help me make it- especially not here in Aust. Not enough $$ in the film and tv budgets- they stick to what is 'safe' and people that have already 'made it', which is why I need to be Overseas- Europe.
We only have 3 commercial channels here and they are very 'commercial'...
Most of the mid to large size productions companies here are either owned by BIG international entities or are always working with the same ones.
Most Aussie production companies have to co-produce with international production companies to get that 'patchwork' funding together- and they're are people that are already well established in the industry, so not much opportunity in funding for the emerging producer like me. And some times they even have trouble too...
Will never give up though! Never! 😁
