In
the true nature of the territory, the Northern Territory Filmmakers Association has become
a loose knit but highly organized when needed to be filmmaking body,
individuals working together to create the incredible. Composed of
local filmmakers that have the singular idea of raising the reputation
of independant
film in the territory, the NTFA continues on by:
1) workshops on filmmaking
2) tutorial lessons on editing and screen writing
3) continued prescence in film festivals around the world.
At
the moment the NTFA proudly supports and is involved in helping
several local filmmakers prepare for the Fist
Full of Films in Darwin, Australia. If you would like to
get involved or are interested in independant filmmaking in the Northern
Terrirtory,
please contact ntfadarwin@digitalcinemapictures.com
The
NTFA hosts monthly script writing meetings to discuss each other's
scripts and submitted scripts. If
you would like to join, please drop us an email.
There
is an active forum about the Northern Territory Filmmakers Association located here if
you would like to join and discuss issues about filmmaking in the
Territory.
