Call for Entries: Emerging Producer Placement

Applications are open for Create NSW’s initiative for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders.

Applications are now open for Create NSW’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Emerging Producer Placement initiative.

The two EPP recruits will spend three months working with the Create NSW Screen Investment team headed up by Director of Screen Investment, Engagement and Attraction Sophia Zachariou, followed by three months in industry. They will also have the opportunity to attend key industry events as part of the internships.

Elizabeth W. Scott, Create NSW Executive Director, Create Investment and Engagement, said “In previous years we have supported female and culturally and linguistically diverse producers and are very proud to focus this year’s efforts on finding roles for our emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent across the State.

“This targeted initiative provides valuable jumpstarts in the industry and boosts the industry with much-needed fresh perspective. I am proud that Create NSW is so passionate about making changes across the shortfalls that we know exist in the Australian screen industry,” she said.

Blackfella Films’ Rachel Perkins said, “Great producers are the key to empowering Indigenous storytelling. We at Blackfella Films welcome this new focus to encourage excellence and fast-track the careers of the next generation of emerging Indigenous producers.”

Media Reconciliation Industry Network Group (Media RING) Chair, Tanya Orman added, “Media RING is proud to support the Emerging Producers Placement program offered by Create NSW for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander emerging talents.

“Great opportunities like this enhance and develop careers to grow their skills, experience and relationships within the media and screen industry. This aligns to Media RING’s vision ‘to lead and inspire positive change’,” she continued.

Applications close at midnight Monday 10 September 2018.
