Picture start

Victoria, Australia, 1989

Film

Making a film is only half the battle. Screening it is the other half, especially when there is a resistance from an unexpected quarter, eighth, sixteenth. The result is an amusing struggle with a particularly mischievous film leader. This engaging piece of genuine animation blends both computer generated and cell drawn material.
