Ruth Harley joins EncoreLive

The CEO of Screen Australia, Ruth Harley, has confirmed her participation in the Question Time session at next June’s EncoreLive conference in Sydney.

Harley is the third member of the panel, following the announcement of the president of the Screen Producers Association of Australia, Antony I. Ginnane, and See-Saw Film’s Emile Sherman (The King’s Speech).

We have also confirmed the participation of Anthony Damianakis, executive producer at Vokyo Entertainment, in the Branded Content session. Damianakis will talk about Vokyo’s projects, including the ACP-based factual series Park Street.

EncoreLive is a one-day conference for film, television and digital media content professionals to discuss the issues and trends currently defining the industry. It is running under the aegis of the two-day Mumbrella360 event.
We’ve confirmed high-profile speakers for the following sessions:

  • MasterChef

One of the highest rating programs in the history of Australian television also has one of the most successful brand extension strategies. FremantleMedia Enterprises’ Jon Penn will discuss how this IP turned into a brand, covering the magazine, live events, consumer proudcts and online strategies.

  • Australian Film

How would the marketing industry reposition Australian Film as a brand? We’re about to find out.

  • TV is Dead

If TV is dead, what replaces it? Comedian and filmmaker Dan Ilic spent 2010 in New York City trying to answer this question, working with Vimeo, CollegeHumor and Next New Networks, to find out what is working and what isn’t. As it turns out, everyone in the digital space is just making it up!

  • Branded Content

Creatively integrating a brand into transmedia content is not as easy as showing the product on screen. Learn from those who have obtained money from the big brands. Session presented in partnership with Metro Screen.

  • #TVTwitter

Watching TV and tweeting is so much fun it’s almost criminal. Twitter can give a show a new platform – could it be responsible for killing a program too?

  • Encore Question Time
