Screen Australia announces Springboard short film-makers

Three creative teams have received investment through Screen Australia’s Springboard Short Film Initiative.

The idea behind the Springboard Short Film Course is to offer creative teams the opportunity to make a short film which will be the grounding for a feature film idea.

Writer/director Nicholas Verso and producer John Malloy will make The Last Time I Saw Richard, while writer/director Miranda Nation with producer Lyn Norfor will make Perception and writer/director Sean Kruck with producer Caroline Barry will make Snowblind.

Previous recipient writer/director Zak Hilditch made the short film Transmission with producer Liz Kearney which was selected for this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and helped them and secure finance in feature These Final Hours.
