‘Hi everyone, um, I’m a bit emotional after the announcement this morning so please excuse me if I burst into tears as I talk. But I’m a screenwriter and I’m here to talk to you a little bit about the process of coming up with an idea for a show, and writing a series before a camera even starts rolling.’
Mithila Gupta was speaking on Zoom at the launch of a new version of the Make It Australian campaign on the very day that the federal government announced its new policy settings to regulate/cut the screen sector. The campaign, run by the sector’s representative bodies, builds on the first version of 2017 to locate screen media in the Covid recovery process.
