The goodwill towards this new Destination has been overwhelming.

People are rediscovering the idea that being in film doesn’t mean having to desperately claw your way to the top of the heap at all costs, but rather that you can contribute something individually that becomes part of something bigger, that a whole bunch of other like-minded individuals are doing at the same time.

It’s not an original idea but perhaps one that has been a bit forgotten or overshadowed in our age of ‘The Box Office is King’, ‘Awards Mean Everything’, ‘You Have To Go To Film School’, ‘Getting Government Funding Is The Only Way To Be Taken Seriously’ and ‘I’m On My Way To LA’…

It’s official: there is no more “in club”. The world has grown so big and the markets so small… Isn’t it now more than ever a case of Building Your Own Community, Finding Your Own Voice and Creating Your Own Culture? Doing your own thing and finding other people doing their own thing that you connect with. To become part of a collective, a movement even? And making some cash back so you can keep on going?

Yes? No? Maybe? Or what a load of BS?
