A Radio Piece on my Grandfather and his obsession with food stemming from his experiences during the second World War

Radio Piece - Food.

I was at the ICAA conference and heard Joel Pearlman, the Managing Director of Roadshow Films speak about distribution and concisely define the term and what he does. 



Joel Pearlman - definition of distribution

Robert Connolly (born 1967) is a politically conscious film director, producer and screenwriter based in Melbourne, Australia.

Connolly is best known as the director and writer of the feature films Balibo, Three Dollars and The Bank, and the producer of the high-profile Australian films Romulus My Father and The Boys.

I recorded Robert at the ICAA conference as I thought he made some great points in regards to new ways of distribution and how he felt the cinema industry was going. 

He talks about his latest film "Underground" which screened at Cinema Nova. He spoke about how this film demonstrated new models of distribution. He gave us DVD's at the end of the panel which showed exactly what he meant. On the DVD it includes:
- Behind the scenes featurettes
- The screenplay
-Key production stills
Theatrical film trailer
-Four tracks from the original scroe
- A director;s commentary

The disc also has a QR code which leads you to a whole interactive page of the film. 

"Underground" demonstrates ways in which filmmakers and distributors are trying to get more interaction with audiences and getting more people interested in films. 

I thought it was a great example of new distribution models, differing from traditional ways.
