These figures are not surprising. The most popular films will always be the well scripted, theatrically constructed and directed stories.
Many an Australian wannabe filmmaker ( and most of the established ones) should look beyond the hype, the special effects, and the camera angles, and start feeling the heart of real filmmaking.

We make a lot of film and television drama in this country, but most of it is schlock.
