Re: Frame empowers Australian screen practitioners to step back and reimagine the future for their creative enterprises.

The screen sector is at the centre of the burgeoning creative economy. But we must re-evaluate how we envision and build screen businesses – integrating new practices around innovation, IP development and global engagement – to realise our potential.

Re: Frame 2018 draws from great minds engaged at the intersection of technology, creativity and business, to offer inspiration and practical information to Australian creative practitioners and entrepreneurs.

Featuring keynote speakers Tea Uglow, Creative Director of Google Creative Lab, Ben Sand, CEO of The Teleporter and Luke Briscoe of NITV and SBS and followed by panel session: Embedding Creativity in Screen Process and Business Practice. The panel will explore new approaches to creative practice, including tech-enabled innovation and design thinking, and will challenge screen practitioners to embed new forms of experimentation into their businesses.

Keynote speakers

Tea Uglow

Creative Director, Google Creative Lab

TL Uglow (‘Tea’) is Creative Director for Google’s Creative Lab in Sydney. She works with cultural and creative organisations around the world exploring the space between technology and the arts and what can happen where they intersect.

Tea has a history in the arts, a love of literature, and a problem with staying focused. She speaks graphics geek, a bit of web‑dev, some Python, a touch of digital strategy, remedial project management, and really bad French. Her likes include physical/digital, pen and ink, and carefully organised chaos doubt.

At the moment the “interests” list contains: augmented audio, digital books, proximity tech, non-linear storytelling, and the physical web… plus a few things that are less tech-geek like uncertainty, small people, and yoga.

In May 2018, Tea was celebrated as one of Australia’s #OUT50 LGBTQ Leaders by Deloitte and in the same month Editions at Play was awarded a Peabody-Facebook Futures of Media Award.
