"Not every film connects with an audience and not every film can be successful, but as an Australian industry, we’re potentially in a position to be able to better influence the fate of Aussie films, find and develop new ways of better connecting them to audience, and establish how to better inform producers about which projects are more likely to be commercially successful.”
Transmission Films managing directors Andrew Mackie and Richard Payten were honoured as the joint recipients of the Australian Cinema Pioneer of the Year Award Wednesday evening at the 90th anniversary dinner of the Society of Australian Cinema Pioneers, while Lori Flekser was named the organisation's next president.
