Mia Foran chosen as AACTA Young Star

17 year old Mia Foran from Adelaide has been named as the inaugural AACTA Young Star following a talent search jointly held by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts in collaboration with Casting Networks Australia and the Casting Guild of Australia.

She impressed the judging panel with her talent, dedication, and promise during a competitive selection process from a wide pool of young performers.

She receives a $10,000 flight voucher, $2,500 cash in travel support to fly to the United States, networking opportunities, workshops and meetings with Casting Directors and Agents.

“I am humbled and honoured to be selected as the Inaugural AACTA Young Star especially amongst such a high calibre of talented individuals around Australia. I hope that I am able to inspire others to continue striving and working hard to achieve their goals with sheer determination, commitment and positive self belief,” she said.
