First Nations Feature Development

The First Nations Department’s feature development program aims to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander filmmakers with demonstrated experience to extend their craft and their ideas in the longer feature format.

We are looking for striking and engaging storytelling that will connect with audiences. Screen Australia reserves the right to require the attachment of a story consultant where appropriate.

WHAT FUNDING IS AVAILABLE?

Any amount up to $30,000, or up to $45,000 if a producer is attached (other than in exceptional circumstances).

Funding is available for the first or subsequent draft feature screenplay, including, where appropriate, fees for writer, producer, director, story consultant.
