The Burrowes Film Group was a short lived production company established in the wake of the success of ''The Man from Snowy River'' (1982) and ''Anzacs'' (1985).〔Blake Murdoch, 'Form Burrowes Film Group in Oz; 'River' sequel tops $A53-mil slate.', ''Variety'', v320, 1985 Sept 25, p33(1)〕 It was named after Geoff Burrowes. Other key personnel included John Dixon and Georgie Miller. In late 1985 they announced a $53 million package of several films over the next two years, including ''Cool Change'', ''Free Enterprise'' (which became ''Running from the Guns''), ''The Man from Snowy River 2'', ''Clancy of the Overflow'', ''Backstage'', ''Future Tense'' (which became ''Dogs in Space'') and ''Ground Zero''. Of these only ''Clancy'' was not made.〔"Production round-up", ''Cinema Papers'', November 1985 p48〕 For ''Dogs in Space'' and ''Ground Zero'' the company worked mainly to secure finance leaving creative decisions to others, in exchange for a fee.〔Albert Moran, ''Moran's Guide to Australian TV Series'', AFTRS 1993 p 514-515〕 However the majority of the movies were not financially successful and the company was soon wound up. The accounting practices of the group earned them a great deal of notoriety within the industry.〔 ==Select Credits== *''Cool Change'' (1985) *''Dogs in Space'' (1986) *''Ground Zero'' (1987) *''Running from the Guns'' (1987) *''Backstage'' (1988) *''The Man from Snowy River II'' (1988) *''Minnamurra'' (1989) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burrowes Film Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
