Screen Australia revamps Enterprise program for 2023
The updated Enterprise design includes Generate and Premium streams for businesses and people
Screen Australia has announced its Enterprise program will open for applications in February 2023 with a new set of guidelines and FAQs.
The updated Enterprise design includes Generate and Premium streams for businesses and people, a streamlined application process, and additional support in the form of learning modules and mentors in creative and business areas.
The revamped program aims to foster sustainable screen businesses and careers for film practitioners focused in content creation roles.
Screen Australia’s CEO Graeme Mason said, “Enterprise has an incredible legacy since it was launched in 2009, and we’re thrilled to continue supporting Australian practitioners and businesses to grow, increase their skillset and drive the whole sector forward.
"We want to help Australian creatives advance their careers through development opportunities here and overseas and be best placed to succeed in an increasingly global market. And we want to support local independent businesses to expand their capacity and build pathways for sustainability."
“The Enterprise program has evolved over the years to ensure we can best meet the needs of the industry, especially in a significantly changing content landscape. With this iteration we aim to provide greater access to a range of practitioners and businesses through a Generate and Premium model, greater consistency through a competitive, deadline based application process, and greater support to funded recipients through modules and mentors," he added.
