Pagewood Studios was a film studio in Sydney, Australia, that was used
to make Australian, British and Hollywood films for twenty years.The
studio was built in 1935 for National Productions by National Studios
Ltd, it was originally known as National Studios. It was constructed
for the presumed increase in production that most observers thought
would result in Australia following introduction of the NSW Film Quota
Act. National Studios Ltd was incorporated with capital of
£250,000.They were the first new film studios built in Australia
since 1912. Gaumont British helped provide finance and personnel in
its construction. After six months of operation National Studios
reported a profit of 26%.However the studio was soon eclipsed by
Sydney's two other sound studios, Cinesound and Figtree Studios at
Lane Cove. It was shut down for three years from 1937â€"1940, when it
was reopened to make That Certain Something (1940). Then during World
War II it was used as a store depot, a training ground, and as the
rehearsal and refitting depot of the Australian Army Entertainment
Unit. Pagewood Studios Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
