Screen Australia launches new Audience Design Initiative

Screen Australia has launched a new Audience Design Initiative, supporting mid-career producers and/or key creative teams to gain an increased understanding of audiences within the globally competitive feature film marketplace, enabling them to effectively advance their scripted feature film projects.

Síle Culley

All potential applicants, and anyone with a feature film in development, are encouraged to attend the nationwide webinar on Tuesday 23 April to find out more about audience design strategies for scripted feature films, before submitting their application. Registration details provided below.

Five mid-career producers and/or key creative teams will be selected to take part in individual two-day workshops in Sydney with Irish specialist Síle Culley, and will have the opportunity to work on the positioning of their film in relation to audiences.

Screen Australia will pay for travel and accommodation for successful participants residing outside of Sydney, within Australia. Please note that only two members of a successful team are able to attend the workshops.

  • be available to attend workshops in Sydney that will occur between 30 May to 14 June 2024, with specific dates to be coordinated with successful applicants/teams.
