SBS documentary Prison Songs and ABC’s The War That Changed Us are amongst nominees in the running for the 2015 WA Screen Awards.

The WASAs recognise achievements in feature film, short film, web series, music videos, television production, documentary, games and interactive productions.

479 entries from 162 screen projects were submitted for 33 categories.

Beyond West-produced documentary Prison Songs directed by Kelrick Martin and produced by Harry Bardwell, received 6 nominations.

ABC mini-series, The War That Changed Us, written and directed by Don Featherstone and produced by Andrew Ogilvie also received 6 nominations.

“FTI would like to thank the 60 industry judges who had the unenviable task of determining which of the 800 entries were the most deserving of recognition. As always, many worthy projects missed out. The competitive nature of this year’s WASAs is an indicator of an increasingly vibrant WA Screen Sector. FTI congratulates all the nominees and wish them the very best of luck for the Gala Awards Ceremony on 29 June,” said CEO of FTI, Paul Bodlovich.

“We are proud to be associated with an event that once again celebrates the incredible talents of West Australian screen practitioners. It’s an exciting time in the industry and we look forward to following the careers of all the award nominees,” said CEO of ScreenWest, Ian Booth.

Joel Creasey will host the 27th annual gala awards ceremony in the State Theatre Centre of WA on June 29th.
