Caroline Russo, founder of the event, aimed to highlight different guest speakers and showcase film projects, while bringing together industry professionals.

The season launch has been held in the Old Poker Room at Jupiters Hotel & Casino featuring a very special guest who has trained in all facets of television production including, cameras, directing and floor managing. Screen Queensland’s Director of Development Manager, Jock Blair, has more than fifty years’ experience as a Writer, Story Editor, Producer, Executive Producer and Lecturer in the Australian film and television industry.

Jock was co-creator of a number of highly successful, long running television series and serials such as The Sullivans, Skyways and Bluey.

He held the position of Head of Production for the South Australian Film Corporation for ten years, and during that time he developed, financed and produced nine mini-series, two feature films and three telemovies. Most notable was award-winning mini series, The Shiralee, featuring Bryan Brown, and the feature Playing Beatie Bow, which won the Most Exciting Film Award at the 1987 Moscow Film Festival.

“We are lucky enough to have Mr. Blair join us and share his experiences gained over the many years he has been in the industry. This is going to be a very informative evening with a Q&A session on the night,” said Caroline.

The GCIFTN also showcased the new film project, 3010. This Sci Fi series features the work of writer Michael Rodrigues and producer Sarah Disney. 3010 takes viewers on an epic adventure, exploring themes of hope, freedom and equality as the main characters endure daily struggles in this unusual and complex world. From the alien controlled mega-cities to the humans living in the ruined wasteland, you will be captivated by the powerful relationships and phenomenal action sequences as you are transported into a world full of danger and heart-stopping excitement.

Attached to the casting of 3010 is one of Australia’s most talented actors who will fly in from Sydney to speak with us, John Batchelor. John is known for his work in hit TV show Sea Patrol, and much-loved Australian film, Red Dog. Our other guest is actor Radek Jonak who is known for many TV roles over the past few years including Red Dog and most recently, 3010.
The night has opened on a musical note with singer songwriter Miranda Ward, who is currently working on the release of her debut album with producer Tom Wirth.

Musical Score of treats with an opening show by legendary singer Lee Conway and guest speaker Composer Loic Valmy.

The Gold Coast Indie Film/TV Network is very excited to announce for its second gathering special guest French Music Score Composer Loic Valmy, who will speak on The Secrets of Screen Music, on Wednesday 9 May at The Arts Centre Gold Coast Basement Venue.

The night will open with international icon singer of Country and Western Lee Conway, who is making a very special comeback with his new band ‘Smoking Bullets’. Lee has commented on his new band as being one of the best he has played with and he is very honored to be up front with such a great blend of musical talents.

This alone for all Conway fans is not to be missed, adds Caroline Russo founder and host of the GCIFTN.
Lee has appeared before the Queen and Prince Phillip and was delighted when Prince asked if Lee had gargled with gravel.
For 40 years he has been regarded as one of the most respected artists in Country Western, and has been producing many award winning songs and jingles in radio and TV.

On the second part of the night, French born Musical Score Composer Loic Valmy will be our keynote speaker.
Loic is set to demonstrate the best uses of screen music and how film-makers, directors and producers can take advantage of its wonderful power through several video examples. After working on many European productions, documentaries, feature films and TV series, Loic bought his European influence to the Australian film industry after a move to Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in 2004.

He has since worked on award winning Australian feature comedies, short films, the national campaign of the Australian Koala Foundation and will this year be working with a symphony orchestra on an international feature documentary.
Loic said the true power of screen music lies in how it changes people’s judgements and thoughts.

“Of course, music can influence an audience’s feelings and emotions, but let’s see what it can do on our judgement of a scene or a character and how it can even influence what we think and decide when we must think of it.

“Sadly, in the best cases, music in film is only used as an emotional media, and in the worst cases, it is just a decorative element used to fill the blanks – but it can do so much more,” he said. The Gold Coast Indie Network is brought to you by Caroline Russo Promotions and Media PR and is sponsored by GC Business and GC Filming. Other supporters’ are Digital 31,De Bortoli Wines and Griffith University filming students.

The GCIFTN is for everyone wanting to be part of a growing industry in Film, TV and Music. Our guests share their passion and everyone can meet, network and have fun. There are Lucky Door prizes to win. Bookings are advised for this as seating is limited. This will be a sell out for sure.
