Brisbane launches film-friendly taskforce

Film Brisbane and regional council representatives will meet today in the inaugural South East Queensland Film Friendly Taskforce meeting.

“The attraction of international productions can be volatile and fluctuate with currency rates. Our strength is our network across Brisbane and greater Brisbane and by leading the formation of the South East Queensland Film Friendly Taskforce, we can build a solid regional approach to industry issues,” Film Brisbane director Julie Turpie told Encore.

Film Brisbane was launched in March by Brisbane City Council and Brisbane Marketing, to promote the Queensland capital as a screen production destination and differentiate it from the Gold Coast.

Since then, a Consultative Committee comprising industry members has been established to ensure the new organisation is across industry trends.
