DEVELOP AUSTRALIAN VOICES AND IDEAS
Screen Australia can be involved as early as the proposal and script stage, funding writers and filmmaking teams so they can develop and progress their ideas to the next stage.
GET HOMEGROWN CONTENT OFF THE GROUND
Screen Australia funds the production of everything from features to documentaries, television drama, children’s programs and online web series. Sometimes this funding can be the difference between a project getting the green light to go into production or not. Other times, it’s a starting point – giving producers the initial support they need to go into the marketplace for more.
PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON INDIGENOUS TALENT
Screen Australia’s Indigenous Department identifies and nurtures talented Indigenous Australians to ensure their bold, distinctive voices are heard through engaging stories that they craft. It is also proactive in shaping and influencing the policy environment, where it may impact Indigenous Australians in the screen industry.
ENCOURAGE INNOVATION
Online is another priority, with funding support given to facilitate innovation and audience-engaging screen content primarily for viewing on the web and via social media channels.
HELP STORIES FIND THEIR AUDIENCE
Once films, docos, TV series or online videos have been created, there’s also support on the marketing and promotion side, through initiatives that focus on connecting audiences with Australian content.
