Screen Australia adds another round to Short Film Completion Fund

Screen Australia has added another funding round for its Short Film Completion Fund.

Film-makers can apply for up to $40,000 in post-production costs in order to complete their short film.

The additional round may cheer the film-making community following December’s news that the national screen agency’s feature fund had dried up for the financial year.

On the importance of short films, Martha Coleman, Screen Australia’s head of development said: “Short films are hugely important in raising filmmakers’ profiles in the industry and provide an essential stepping-stone in a professional career path. Our completion fund recognises the passion, talent and ambition of new Australian talent who are getting out there by whatever means they have to tell their stories.”
