Victoria is a state with considerable film and TV heritage. Centering around the city of Melbourne it has considerable resources that make it an attractive destination to potential film makers. The people of the area have film making skills in depth and levels of experience that would make them valuable assets to any project. Producers, directors and script writers are just some of the people who can be found at the Film Vic Emate website which is a website designed to marry up film projects with production staff in Victoria. Marry up is an appropriate term as the whole site has been created as a gentle parody of a conventional dating website.
