April 14th - DONE SUNDANCE, DONE CANNES, DUNGOG!
'Hotel Motel' continues on it's merry way with it's selection in the 2008 Dungog Film Festival in NSW. This is an exciting Aussie festival showcasing the best Australian films to an audience of investors, producers and industry notables. The organisers are very 
switched on regarding how to get a film made in Australia and to that end have rustled up some serious sponsorship in Hyundai and NSW mining as well as the support and partnership of Government and private bodies such as the AFC, the NSW FTO, Showtime and Panavision Australia. With a bit of luck Michael will be up there in person for some great seminars, workshops and serious schmoozing.

Oct 1st - 'Hotel Motel' will make it's North American debut at AIFF- the 2007 Anchorage International Film Festival in Alaska. The film's dusty brown Australian sensibility should make for quite a contrast with the snowy Alaskan winter. We beat out 400 other films to gain official selection in the festival which is quite an achievement. Congratulations to all involved.
