18/08/2007: "MOVIE CINEMA MOGUL ....... John W Smith"
Big shots in the Queensland cinema business. John W Smith (left) CEO of Birch Carroll & Coyle Limited congratulates Bundaberg cinema manager (center) and independent 16mm film distributor JHH on the outstanding success of Queensland Seafari film shows.
John W.Smith initially gave Queensland Seafari bookings throughout the hard-top theater circut, following the success of Northern Safari - an outback adventure film also made and shown in 16mm.
When negotiating for the bookings I kept quiet the film was a silent print with concern the product may be seen as a low budget 'home movie'.
Made to a professional standard by the supportive Colorfilm staff at their film laboratory where, in later years Crocodile Dundee prints were produced for USA release.
