The Curb releases physical Australian Film Yearbook – Physical? What’s that chief?
The Curb has become a mainstay on independent reporting on the Australian Film Industry. The passion and dedication by head honcho and editor-in-chief, Andrew F Pierce, has covered reviews and features from the top end of town major studios to the little guys of independent film festivals (SWIFF, MIFF, etc).
With the support of The Curb’s fans, Andrew has had the privilege of reviewing a truly stunning array of amazing Australian films and interviewing passionate and dedicated filmmakers who helped bring them to life. A truly inspiring achievement for a website still four years young. This has led to the launch of The Australian Film Yearbook – 2021 Edition.
Pierce writes,
“I am extremely passionate about Australian film and cinema, and as I’ve reflected on my contribution as an advocate for the industry, I realised that a tangible book that showcases our awesome Aussie film industry would be the best way of honouring the films and filmmakers. While my interviews and reviews have reached thousands of readers across the globe on The Curb, a book is tangible, and it carries through time. The words that many filmmakers have said deserve to carry on as inspiration for future filmmakers, film lovers, and historians. I would therefore love to introduce The Australian Film Yearbook – 2021 Edition.”
Having recently launched on Kickstarter, The Australian Film Yearbook – 2021 Edition has been an astounding success. Thanks to The Curb fans, the Kickstarter smashed through its goal within 36 hours.
