"Low budget productions can be a challenge – every penny counts when creating a production such as The Horizon. But it also has its advantages, such as becoming a family and having an amazing cast and crew that you learn to trust and work so well with," explained actor Alistair Cooke (who took over the role of Jake in Season 2). The third series has been promoted by ''DNA'' magazine. Current sponsors include: The Aids Council of NSW (ACON), Glyde Health, Ben Sherman, AussieBum, House of Priscilla, The Oxford Hotel, DNA magazine, General Pants Co and Marrickville Council, although The Horizon is low budget and Boaz's crew and cast work for reduced rates. Stephan Elliott, who directed Priscilla Queen of the Desert, is mentoring Stark in season three.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Two more seasons for ACON-sponsored online drama The Horizon )〕 The Horizon won 4 awards at the L.A.
