AACTA PATHWAYS PANEL
AFI | AACTA is pleased to invite 20 QLD ACS members to a seminar featuring some of Queensland’s most successful and prolific screen practitioners. Queensland’s recent elevation to become a film and TV hub of Australia is in part thanks to Screen Queensland, but is mostly due to the State having some of the world’s best film and television talent living and working within its borders – with a large number of these exponents being women. We bring together some of this world-class talent to share their journey and talk about what drives them, their work ethic and their creative process, and how they became so successful while living and working in Queensland.
