Filmmakers Lucie McMahon (Dead End Film Festival, T00 Much W0rld, Things Will Be Different) and Emmett Aldred (Desperately Seeking Shavers (ABC), Dead End Film Festival, T00 Much W0rld, Things Will Be Different, TILDE), and curator Channon Goodwin (Bus Projects, Permanent Recession, Compositive: Moving Image Agency and Media Bank) auction off the concepts and resources for collective DIY artist filmmaking. This workshop will discuss collective filmmaking, how it has worked in the past and in other parts of the world, and what it could be like in our current location and climate. Who wants T00 Much W0rld is an opportunity to connect with film practitioners and flesh out the possibilities for sharing time resources and human connection within an increasingly busy and alienating climate.

Research Statement
The research discipline is creative practice research within the field of community filmmaking. This research aimed to gather data on the experiences of independent filmmakers in Melbourne and their experiences of collaboration and collectives. This research aimed to evaluate methods for establishing and sustaining collaboration among independent filmmakers in Melbourne.
This presentation was the first gathering of the participating independent filmmakers and collectives; as such, it presented new knowledge sharing among a desperate community regarding their experiences of working independently and struggles with collectivisation. Concepts surrounding the sustainability of collaborative practice within the current climate were discussed and shared among practitioners.
The participants of the event and programmers all testified to the event's excellence. There was an overwhelming sense of appreciation for the knowledge shared. The reception is verified through the number of artists and filmmakers who joined the collective googlegroup after the event, and from personal testimonials provided by the event programmers.
