Story Development: Premium

The Story Development Premium Fund provides development funding support for distinctive higher- budget projects with teams who have the critical and/or commercial success to develop, finance and produce projects of ambition and scale.

For example, someone in the key creative team will need to have enough creative traction and heat around them with the marketplace in order to attract cast and raise the finance for a higher budget feature film and also the producing experience to deliver.  For higher budget projects for a Commissioning Platform, the team need the necessary experience to give a Commissioning Platform confidence that they will deliver the project as well as the creative vision.

The Premium Development fund has the following aims:

• Ambition & Scale: to identify and support distinctive, quality, higher budget drama projects of ambition and scale for any platform.
• Success: to support successful screen content makers.
• Viability & Market: to generate viable projects and teams that will attract marketplace finance and are intended for significant audience reach.
• Culture & Diversity: to ensure the storytellers and stories being told reflect gender equity, and/or the diversity of people and experiences from around Australia, all of which are important culturally, creatively and economically.
