I fully endorse GoG but I enjoy the service I already get with Steam, but I'll try to make more of an effort to pick up some stuff there.

>They get buried. Screen Australia only want to push the desert narrative. The meme in indie film here is you either need a desert, a dog, a man in a cork hat or an aboriginal otherwise don't bother.
This is the answer, the gov funding body wants two things out of funded entertainment either something that makes the outback look awesome or an unironic DEI/virtue signal checklist shit as much as I loathe the term. Idk why they want to make the outback look cool, I guess tourism but it's clearly not fucking working because no one wants to fucking go there unless it's to Alice Springs AND EVEN THEN not many. As for the checklist shit I got no fucking idea what's going on there, it's uncanny how it's the shit that americans complain about happening right here but no one cares because no one fucking watches the shit.

Then there's the issue of distribution etc and the brain drain as anyone one good will fuck off somewhere they can get paid better or actually have more of a chance to make something cool or at the very least a chance for people to actually fucking watch it.

me personally I'm using my film experience to get paid in porn work on the side and work a "normal" job.
