4/2/2010: TROPFEST 2010: FINAL 16 CHOSEN

John Polson, the Director/Founder of Movie Extra Tropfest, shares his thoughts on choosing the final sixteen: “Watching the entries each year is one the best parts of my job. But choosing the 16 finalists is one of the toughest! This year’s line-up encompasses an incredible, entertaining and thought-provoking mix of comedy, drama, animation, documentary and even mockumentary! There are some familiar faces amongst the 16 finalists, including some past Tropfest finalists, but it’s also great to be able to showcase some of Australia’s best, new filmmaking talent.”
