This looks great! Dave writes –

My friend Karl Von Moller is a professional video director and has shot an awesome documentary on the Australian Electronics Industry and associated Hobby/Hacker/Maker scene. Whilst it’s primarily focused on the Australian scene, it has much relevance to the electronics scene in any other country. The full feature will follow in about a month or so.

State of Electronics – Trailer

From the director: After several months of researching, interviewing and filming, I’m excited to present the first public Trailer to my new Documentary “State of Electronics” – A discussion on the Electronics Industry in Australia. Even though the documentary is focused on Australian Electronics Design and Manufacture, much of it applies to all countries from around the world.

The discussion is focused initially on the world of Hobby Electronics and how it’s decline could effect the Electronics Industry in the future. The Documentary then discusses many issues that face industry including the issue of “Repair and Recycle”, “Education”, “Surface Mount Technology”, “Globalisation”, “Opportunities” and many many more off the cuff & candid comments from Industry professionals.
