After being awarded the 2008 AFI Fellowship grant, John L Simpson was provided the opportunity and financial support to personally research and develop a regional screenings map. John L has travelled extensively over the past 10 months to regional communities to screen Men's Group which he wrote produced and distributed. John L Simpson has and will continue to share this incredible journey with the AFI, which we frequently feature in our e-news and on our website. At completion John L Simpson's goal is to provide a blue-print for future film-makers to find new and wider audiences.
John's success and continued passion for this project is a tribute to his enthusiasm and commitment:"The AFI Fellowship has provided the support to turn my professional 'wish list' into a career plan of action. The combination of strategic networking opportunities together with the financial support to research and implement my digital screening map of Australia has lead to extraordinary professional and life enhancing opportunities that have propelled me into the next stage of my career... The AFI team have been so warm, kind of like a family, providing encouragement and emotional support to dream wildly. Being a person who works intuitively, positive reinforcement is at times the only thing that keep me going. The AFI Fellowship is a testament to their love and vision for the men and women of the Australian film industry."
If you believe that the AFI Fellowship could assist you to achieve a personal goal which will also contribute to the development of the screen industry at large, apply now.For further details, information on application criteria, or to download the application form, please visit www.afi.org.au/fellowship
