Perth Film Network - For Actors or Filmmakers?

There seems to be some form of confusion as to what the Perth Film Network is and who it is aimed at.  Reading posts around the web, it would seem that people are under some sort of impression that the Perth Film Network is primarily for Filmmakers and not for actors.  How people have come to this conclusion fascinates me, but actually doesn't surprise me.

Here in Perth, there seems to be this line between actors and everyone else in the Film Industry or should I say filmmaking process.  Why this is, has always escaped me.  Aren't we are all contributing to and making a film? Are we all not in the same Industry? Filmmakers need actors and actors need filmmakers, it is really that simple...There is no us and them. Then we should consider the suppliers, the caterers, the investors, the designers, the marketers, distributers etc...Yes they are all a part of the filmmaking process and we all work together as a team to make a film happen.
