PATRON OF THE FESTIVAL

Actress Victoria Thaine is our new Patron of the 2006 Janison Short Sharp Film Festival

Victoria Thaine Actress Victoria Thaine is the new Patron of 2008 Janison Short Sharp Film Festival . Victoria recently co-starred in the successful ABC TV series Rain Shadow. Starring Rachel Ward and Victoria Thaine, Rain Shadow tells the story of two female vets who join forces to battle against the severe effects of the drought on the small fictional farming community of Paringa. Victoria has starred in a number of Australian television and film productions including Gone, Two Twisted , 48 Shades, The Caterpillar Wish, Still Life and The Night we called it a Day.

“I'm very excited about being the patron of a program that will help nurture filmmaking and will inject a much needed vitality into the arts culture of our region," said Victoria Thaine. “Having grown up in Coffs Harbour, I recognise the need to nurture new talent, and the region has been starved for too long of resources and support. The Janison Short Sharp Film Festival is not just about helping people make films. It's also about fostering a cultural identity for our region. So I am honored to be involved in something which I think will give back to the community tenfold."

“We are delighted that Victoria has agreed to support our film festival as Patron. She is a wonderful talent and we are honored that she wishes to be involved”, said Janison Short Sharp Film Festival Chair, Carl Richardson. The Festival competition (in its inaugural year in 2007) evolved from the desire to create an on-going annual event specifically designed to encourage the skills and techniques of movie making and short film production in all ages. This event promises to provide an exciting new platform for the growing number of talented film makers on the Coffs Coast and beyond. Having a local success story as our Patron is brilliant.”
