Dear Mr Drummond

Thank you for your FOI request received on 20 April 2016 for:

all documented communication between the Department of Immigration and
Border Protection and the production company "Put It Out There Pictures",
relating to the 2016 film "The Journey" produced by Put It Out There
Pictures.

Purpose of this email

I am writing to you about the s.24AB notice that was sent to you on 19 May
2016.  The consultation period under the FOI Act expired at close of
business on Friday 3 June 2016. As you did not respond to the Department
by the end of the consultation period, your request is deemed to have been
withdrawn by the operation of the FOI Act (s.24AB (6) and (7)). Your
request is therefore now closed.

Yours sincerely
