Can a new generation of filmmakers create another outback classic?

Forty years after a beloved Australian film hit the big screen, it remains the country's number one box office success. The movie, which showcased the Australian landscape, has yet to be matched in reach by any other film produced in the outback since then.

Films like The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Wolf Creek, Red Dog, Mad Max, Babe, and Baz Luhrmann's Australia have showcased the outback to the world. Regional Australia has been key to the country's cinematic success.

Emerging filmmaker James Ivor from Far North Queensland believes the next box office hit for Australia could be created in the regions.
