Big dreams for short film

It’s all about networking and soon Melbourne’s film making community will have their own dedicated short film night.

Tangerine launches next month in St. Kilda with the aim of creating a regular monthly forum for budding filmmakers and those already established in the industry.
The venture is a labour of love for British expatriate, Collette Crespin who has been inspired by Melbournian’s enthusiasm for culture and festivals.

“They really embrace a good idea, which I love,” she says. “But I noticed that ad agencies and production companies did not really hang out or network that much outside of a work project context, so I thought it would be a great way to bring people together.

Crespin aims to create a regular forum for networking and enjoying quality home grown film production with the long-term goal to develop Tangerine into an annual film festival or award ceremony.

The night is open to all short film genres including animation and documentary.
“Anything that is not a commercial,” explains Crespin.

"We all work hard and it is time to relax, enjoy what we do and remember why we do it - for the love of a good idea and good film making."
