Gatsby: noice
Screen Hub
Tuesday 14 May, 2013 (Australia)

"Overall, Luhrmann`s Gatsby is every bit as vulgar, shoddily opportunistic, crazed for elusive prestige and uninterested in tomorrow`s ultimate verdict on what matters as its hero.

With Ted Hope, Mark Cousins, Blue-Tongue and the Spierigs on one side, and the wonderful rise of Indigenous filmmaking on the other side, the bumper edition of Lumina from the Australian Film, Television and Radio School is pretty chewy. And fun. Let`s not forget the fun.

The Heath Ledger Scholarship, run by LA-based Australians in Film, allows a winner and two runners up to go to Hollywood, pitch their skills and receive a variety of support. It is a good thing there are only three, or our television series would look decidedly middle-aged.

Filmmaker Magazine
Friday 10 May, 2013 (Australia)

Larry Gross is extremely sensible on the role of the indy screenwriter and the spec script, while pushing hard for more flexible and integrated approaches to script and production. We reckon this is more important than the Soderbergh speech which has been getting heaps of mileage.
