Synopsis

Reading like a survival manual for aspiring filmmakers, this book offers a fascinating insight into film-making in the 1990s from two of Australia s most successful film practitioners. Between 1989 and 1997, Bruce Beresford and Sue Milliken made nine films between them, two of which they made together. And when they weren t on set, they used the fax machine to stay in touch. As well as taking care of business, the faxes were a commentary -- sometimes droll and often wry -- on life around them, written to amuse and liberally laced with industry gossip. Sent from Broome and South Africa and beyond, they make a fun, fascinating, informative and ultimately charming read.
