Kristian Fletcher is an icon of Brisbane culture - QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA.

Since 2000, Kristian has presented cult/classic and retro music events at venues around town.

Amongst his list... he's worked as a promoter for Suzi Quatro, been dubbed 'an Ambassador of Cult Movies' by director John Waters and after 18 years, he continues to influence the landscape of the city and beyond.

In that 18 years, Kristian has presented successful movie programs at Schonell Theatre, Tribal Theatre, Globe Theatre, Boggo Road Gaol, Blue Room Cinebar, New Farm Cinemas and Metro Arts.

The hardest hurdle now is competition with other venues who are offering experiences similar to Kristian Fletcher.

Whilst those venues were in nappies, Kristian was already out there doing it!
In 2005, people LAUGHED at Kristian when he mentioned his idea of hosting 70s & 80s parties... 

Without a venue and the increasing cost of hosting events (eg, public liability, movie rights & more), each year Kristian needs a nest egg of money to ensure his annual programs can continue.

Before an event is even held, Kristian requires around $700 to cover venue hire and movie screening fees. Public liability and wages haven't been even taken into consideration at this stage. At an average ticket price of $12 - you can see that these events require significant outlay.

These donations will ensure the successful hosting of such events as:

>Metro Arts screenings
>Madonna Party
>Kate Bush Wuthering Heights Day
>Bowies Down Brunswick

The latter two events annually raise funds for local charities such as Cander Council and DVConnect.

Kristian Fletcher wishes to continue bringing movie and music events to Brisbane, enriching the cultural landscape of the city and giving generations the opportunity to delve into nostalgia.

Public liability is required for many of the outdoor and charity events, and expense which is hard to recover due to the events being fundraisers
