Megan Williams, Producer (My Pet Dinosaur) for Little Monster Productions said: “What a great result for Matt and the team, and a testament to the changing face of independent cinema produced in Australia. It really proves that Australian independent film production can, not only be sustainable but have great international appeal and hold its own against Hollywood studio productions.
