About
Too Much World is a community project aimed at circulating filmmaking equipment in Narrm (Melbourne). The equipment we hire out is largely considered ‘surplus technologies’- unwanted by others. You can hire out our collection as a full kit or book individual items.
Our kit is not only sufficient enough to document and produce your own film, but will also require you to approach your project resourcefully.
Resourceful filmmaking uses readily available technologies, locations and actors, to produce films that short-circuit dominant modes of image production. Resourceful filmmaking asks us to reconsider our aesthetic expectations, and the economic, social and cultural privileges ‘good images’ rely on.
If you have ever wanted to make a film but haven't had access to equipment we encourage you to view the collection listed below and get in touch by emailing t00muchw0rldrentals@gmail.com.
