VicScreen is now accepting applications for two people to undertake a year-long internship that will take their producing careers to new heights.
The 12-month program, which is supported by ABC, Blackfella Films and Good Thing Productions, is called Screen Internship, and is focused on producing and development for early to mid-career Victorian creatives. The program is now in its fourth year.
The two internship positions are paid, and designed to create pathways into the screen industry for Victorian screen producers from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds, First Peoples of Australia, people living with disability, or people who identity as female or are trans/gender diverse.
The successful applicants will have the opportunity to build skills and knowledge of the current commissioning, funding, and production environment within Australia.
