Fremantle & Screenworks partner for regional creatives

Regional creatives will gain hands-on experience in series producing, directing & script writing on Fremantle productions.

Fremantle and Screenworks have today announced a partnership for regional screen practitioners throughout Australia.

The best talent identified through Screenworks’ programs and events will gain hands-on experience in  series producing, directing and script writing on Fremantle productions.

Fremantle will also become a major sponsor of Screenworks’ largest annual event, the Business of Producing Seminar and a supporting partner of workshop, events and initiatives.

Chris Oliver-Taylor, CEO Asia Pacific, Fremantle, said: “Neighbours, Wentworth and many of our other productions have been a launch pad for careers – in front and behind the camera – and we’re delighted to be able to provide this opportunity to a new generation of creatives. Our production techniques are constantly evolving so the experience will provide a unique overview of various styles of filming, as well an insight to the script development process.”

Ken Crouch, CEO, Screenworks, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer regional practitioners more opportunities as a result of this newly formed partnership with Fremantle.

“There is enormous value to regional practitioners to have production companies like Fremantle, helping us to support regional talent and project development and a great opportunity for Fremantle to tap into some of the best regional talent available in Australia.”

NSW-based Screenworks is the peak body for regional film, TV and screen related content, and will shortly be calling for applications to their 2020 Career Pathway programs at www.screenworks.com.au.
