Ron Brown, an experienced producer/director, has partnered with Australian Film Institute CEO Alan Finney to create a streaming service called Ozflix, which they hope within three to four years will become a one-stop portal for every Australian film ever made.

‘Director Ron Brown continues by stating that Ozflix’s ambitious intent is “to aggregate all Australian films, making Ozflix a one-stop destination.”

Ozflix will operate on a TVOD model (pay-per-view), providing digital film rentals to audiences at competitive prices. There will also be the option to buy curated “bundles” of films based on a theme, or celebrating the work of a particular director.

This curation will be one of Ozflix’s most significant differences when it comes to competing streaming services. In addition to these film bundles, industry heavyweights like George Miller, Fred Schepisi, Stephan Elliot, Rolf de Heer, Deborah Mailman and Sigrid Thornton will curate and introduce lists of their favourite films; while mini-festivals will celebrate the contributions of individual artists to the industry.’-Filmlink Oct 2015
