The size and strength of the group, lead by Screen Producers Australia CEO Matthew Deaner, underscores the growing engagement by the Australian independent production sector with the international market – and in particular North America. This has been reflected in increased success in program and format sales into the North American market including Rake, Secrets & Lies, Mako Mermaids, Wentworth and The Strange Calls.
This increased involvement by Screen Producers Australia members in the PGA conference which is being kicked off with the 3rd annual Australian / US Partners Networking Lunch, furthers Screen Producers Australia’s recent work in the international arena, including partnering MOUs signed with PACT (UK), PGA (US), CMPA (Canada) and CFPA (China).
