Docos can’t wait for government funding
Director Stefan Hunt says real-life stories such as Somewhere in Tapachula cannot wait for filmmakers to raise funds or obtain Government support.
“I didn’t initially think about [Government funding] because I’d rather do the documentary,” Hunt told Encore.
Hunt’s fund-raising doco will have its premiere tonight in Sydney.
Somewhere Near Tapachula was shot in Tapachula, Mexico, a city in the southern state of Chiapas. It follows the stories of 54 children living at Mision Mexico, a refuge founded by Australian couple Pam and Alan Skuse.
