Due to an overwhelming number of enquiries regarding eligibility, and in the spirit of encouraging as many emerging program makers as possible, ABC TV Documentaries and Screen Australia are widening the criteria for this initiative.
Please note applicants are now eligible if they ‘have at least one screen credit in a significant creative role (eg director, producer, DOP, editor, associate producer, writer, field director, or researcher) that has either been broadcast and/or screened at a recognised film festival. Films made at a film school qualify. Credits can be in documentary or drama production, and may include short films and television series.’
