SPONSORS

A No Budget production requires a lot of input and support from a lot of external companies.  Unfortuantely it seems Australian companies generally just aren't intersted in promoting themselves or their products. 

The good news is there are some out there!  Iconoclast Productions, Producer/Director Adam Todd, the Cast and Crew wodul sincerely like to thank the following companies for their unrivaled support during our production phase.  Please support these companies because they really have supported the 200 odd people who are making this film come to reality.
