11. Films Online Presence When searching for online content on the movie: Loves Brother, there were many aspects of which I found quite disappointing in terms of content and information of this movie on the net. Firstly, there were no box office figures or numbers noted on the web in relevance to the amount of money spent or generated in making, producing and airing this movie. This was a major setback as it eliminated any chance I had of comparing numbers and figures in context of discussing the impact the movie had on Australian Cinema from a financial point of view. Secondly, the interviews I found online were rather meek except for two from ABC which featured Jan Sardi. It was disappointing as the interviews on Andrew Lesnie focused mainly on his cinematography of Lord of The Rings and none on Loves brother. However, it did help in giving me an understanding of how some of the shots were taken in Loves Brother. Also, to my dismay, there were no interviews of the co-producers: Jane Scott and Sarah Radclyffe in relation to this movie. Another disappointment was that the interviews on Giovanni Ribissi (Angelo Donnini) were all from other movies in which he played 2nd and 3rd roles but none from Loves Brother In which he played a lead role.
