Screen NSW and ABC Regional have launched a new initiative offering ten emerging creative teams grants of up to $4,000 each to create a short-form production.

The finished projects will screen through ABC online platforms. The initiative offers production advice and feedback from a Screen NSW Development and Production executive, independent screen industry figures, and local ABC Regional producers. There is also scope for ABC Regional facilities and equipment to be made available.

“This is an incredible opportunity for talented, aspiring screen creatives from regional NSW to explore their ideas and develop their capabilities. SEED gives access to finance, expertise and audiences, access which can often be challenging for emerging filmmakers outside the city,” said NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts, Troy Grant.

“This will be a fantastic first step on the ladder towards a career in the screen industry for the successful applicants.”

Fiona Reynolds, Director of ABC Regional, said, “ABC Regional is thrilled to partner with Screen NSW on the SEED: Regional Shorts initiative, reaching out to emerging filmmakers in regional NSW to uncover different stories and perspectives. It’s a great opportunity for our ABC teams to mentor young filmmakers in the regions and I can’t wait to see the content created through this collaboration.”

SEED is designed for early career creatives, aged over 18, based in regional NSW. Applicants with feature film or television credits in their elected role are not eligible. There must be at least one woman in a key creative role.

Narrative short film projects of up to 10 minutes duration (drama, documentary, animation and experimental projects) for online or small screen delivery (webisode series, transmedia, interactive, online documentary and mobile/tablet content) will be considered.

Applications close Sunday 8th January, 2017.
