From horror to doco, Colin Delaney speaks to five film-makers about their feature length debut.
Director Kevin Smith famously funded his first film, Clerks, by selling off his prized comic book collection. Pedro Almodovar’s first foray into features was so technically flawed, he reportedly put it down to personal style. And finishing Hard Eight was a baptism of fire, according to Paul Thomas Anderson, who has been quoted as saying: “I learned all the lessons I needed to learn on the first film about protecting myself and how to keep a lock on the editing room door.” Such are the trials and trade offs of film-makers when it comes to making their first feature.
The reality, according to Screen Australia, is that between 1970 and 2011, approximately 70 per cent of first-time producers, directors and writers didn’t go on to make a second film. Martha Coleman, head of development at Screen Australia,...

Dream Racer director Simon Lee
The creative partner of a Sydney-based agency has won an international film award for his debut feature documentary, Dream Racer.
Simon Lee of Sydney’s The Hallway won best Foreign Feature Documentary at the All Sports International Film Festival in Los Angeles.
Lee said of the win: “It’s so great to come to La and bring back a gong. I’ve always believed in the strength of the Dream Racer story and I guess this award shows that my belief is warranted.”
As a winner from the festival, it will now go in to compete at the World Federation Internationale Cinema Television Sportifs Challenge in Milan, Italy in December.
The film has also been selected into the Tyrolean Independent Film Festival in Innsbruck, Austria.
Dream Racer sees Lee document amateur motorcyclist Christoph Barriere-Varju’s attempt at endurance motor race, the Dakar Rally as he fulfils a boyhood dream.
