AussieTheatre.com launched in 2003 in a "web magazine" format, updating monthly and providing general news and reviews on Australian theatre. It originally launched under the name BroadwayAustralia.com, a title it maintained until a massive overhaul in 2006.
In 2004, TDE (the original publishers of AussieTheatre.com) made the site a major priority, dumping the "web magazine" feel and moulding the website on successful similar initiatives internationally.
Since then, AussieTheatre.com has become the premier source for news and information on Australian theatre, leading the way in breaking major news stories, getting reviews online first and providing the experience, passion and energy needed for such a task.
The website has grown from a small fan-based concept to a professionally driven business that has an aim to educate, inform and ignite the artistic bones in every individual's body.
AussieTheatre.com, now published by the Aussie Theatre Network, has the strong support of actors, producers, directors, publicists and other members of the theatre industry itself, allowing it to be on the ball when it comes to major news and information.
Over the years, AussieTheatre.com has broken some of the biggest stories in Australian theatre history, and has followed them up with expert opinion and analysis, something often rarely afforded to readerships of newspapers due to space restrictions.
In 2007, AussieTheatre.com, despite added competition, broke visitor records and increased advertising revenue substantially. In 2008, it is again expected to confirm its dominance of the market.
The world's largest short film competition comes to Sydney! The Sydney segment of the internationally acclaimed 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT will be run from the Blue Mountains as a part of this year's Footbeat Festival. The weekend of 10-12 October promises to be a wild and sleepless weekend for the teams who are challenged to make a movie or music clip, to write, shoot and edit it in just 48 hours.
Filmmakers throughout NSW, including Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Lithgow, Bathurst and the Blue Mountains are invited to compete in the world's oldest and largest timed-film competition. The 48HFP takes place annually in over 70 cities around the world competing to win the title of Best 48 Hour Film of 2008.
The 48HFP can help launch a filmmaking career. 'Myles West', last year's winner in Brisbane, went on to win a swag of awards at the international competition in America, competing against the winners from 50 other cities. It was then screened in the Short Film Corner at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. For more information please contact:
