This morning, Screen Australia released its 2023/24 Drama Report showing a worrying decline, with 29% less investment in scripted film, TV and online content in Australia this year compared to last year.
Of particular concern are the declines in expenditure on Australian children’s television and VOD (down 28%) and Australian theatrical feature films (down 42%).
