Screenworks Writing for TV Intensive supported by @screennsw was brimming with wisdom from tutor Jane Allen, and alive with ideas from the room of writers.

Our selected group of talented emerging writers gathered in Ballina for a collaborative two day experience, with each pitching their TV show concepts for feedback.

Brothers Will and Edwin Jones said, “We’re writing a queer action web series, this has been our dream for a few years, and having the opportunity to come here and do something with Screenworks, with Jane Allen, is incredible.

"It’s nice to be in a room with kindred spirit writers, to workshop things with other people and hopefully make connections and have a community that bleeds out of this experience. "

Kay Nankervis said “It’s fantastic, so much inspiration on how to think about your project. We got to talk about our thoughts and we learnt an awful lot from Jane…I got so many different ideas about how pitch, and how to talk about your project.”

Screenworks Directing Intensive supported by @screennsw was alive with incredible insights and energy from Ivan O’Mahoney and Ana Kokkinos.

Our selected group of talented emerging directors congregated in Ballina for an immersive two day experience to elevate their directorial practice and connect with likeminded creatives.

Attendee Wendy Champagne said, “It’s a very lively, wonderful and very nuanced discussion so I’m loving it”

Hadley Perkins added “Being connected with Ana and Ivan, it’s inspiring… their creative philosophy, how they’ve developed that and how they’ve made things happen.”

Our fabulous Writing for TV Intensive participants and teacher Jane Allen, soaking it all in on the Ballina river after two full days of learning, brainstorming, pitching and collaborating.

We love supporting regionally based talent in pursuing careers and developing skills in the screen industry!

Thanks @screennsw for partnering and making these opportunities possible for our Screenworks community.
