Talent Camp

The workshops have been designed to include:

• One day on exploring and developing core narratives, themes and understanding story development
• One day on scripting considerations, working with short form and developing characters and narratives over episodes
• Two days to understand producing considerations, audience, platforms, and hear from recently produced online narrative content makers, and an opportunity to have one to one time with the makers
• One day on career pathways, and introduction to local industry leaders, screen agencies and production companies

On completion of Talent Camp participants will:

• Have a strong understanding and knowledge required to develop a story idea into a concept and script
• Have a strong understanding of how to identify audience, potential finance, distribution and production pathways for specific projects
• Have identified their strengths, weaknesses and next steps in their career pathway
• Be considered, on a case by case basis, for further talent development opportunities

This program is right for you if you have produced creative works, are passionate about storytelling and are interested in exploring a career in screen media, especially in online narrative content.
