The 28th Annual West Australian Screen Awards were held at the Heath Ledger Theatre in Perth last night, hosted by comedian Rhys Nicholson.

The big winner of the night was short drama We Were Here, directed by David Vincent Smith and produced by Joshua Gilbert and Simon Camp, which won four gongs.

The Screenwest Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award was presented to picture and sound editor/production supervisor Lawrie Silvestrin, recognised for his countless documentaries, feature films, drama series and short films.

Leading WA Documentary producer Brian Beaton of Artemis Films posthumously won the WA Screen Academy Best Long Form – Factual award for Who Do You Think You Are? Series 7, along with his co-producers Celia Tate and Margie Bryant.

FTI CEO Paul Bodlovich announced on the evening that following on from suggestions from Brian’s family and colleagues a new Brian Beaton Award would be created. The inaugural Brian Beaton Award, supported by Screenwest and FTI, will be created with the input of the Beaton family and his colleagues and will be given for the first time at the 29th WA Screen Awards. FTI will be accepting donations through their Philanthropy program for the award and Screenwest has committed to $5000 annually to go towards the recipient, in honour of Brian’s memory.
