Do Films Have to Be On a Particular Topic Or Genre?
No. Films can be in any style or on any topic, but must not breach copyright, defamation or anti-discrimination laws. By way of example, Home Brewed 2003 finalists included comedies, documentaries, animations, drama, thrillers and mockumentaries. The only exception to this is that films seeking to qualify for the Best Illawarra Short Filmmaker, must either be made in the Illawarra or have significant links to the Illawarra in the form of content, crew or actors involved in the film’s production.
