Industry Expertise

Australian Film Distribution

Nylero is proud to be in an official affiliatory partnership with the name behind ‘What’s Wrong With The Australian Film Industry?’ – and the agency raising awareness around the Australian Film Industry’s commercial decline through government-funded taxpayer misspends.

Since the 1980s Australian films’ total share of the local box office has fallen steadily from over 23% to below 3%. During this time the Australian Government’s involvement in filmmaking has increased.

Today the Government funds most local films, as well as locally produced Hollywood films. Yet in spite of the Government’s growing involvement in filmmaking, and spending hundreds of millions on production, the box office slide has continued unabated—leading to concerns for the future viability of the industry.

The question is; ‘What’s wrong with Australian films? And can Australia ever hope to reverse the slide and build a self-sufficient commercial film industry?’

Jason brings the Pure Independent vision to Nylero – a mutual aim to support and attract the very best of Australian filmmaking talent.

Good filmmaking requires creative freedom. The freedom to raise a voice of dissent, humour, love, rage, or passion, unconstrained by bureaucracy and process.

Pure Independent Pictures and Nylero support independent filmmakers whose voices live or die based on their ability to connect with audiences, to move, challenge, or confront cultural norms – rather than conform to the tastes of government officials.

Many of Australia’s best films were independent productions – films like Mad Max, Crocodile Dundee, The Castle, and Gabriel.

Unfortunately, independent filmmaking has become far too rare – and one yielding blockbuster-calibre – far rarer.
