Screen Queensland proposes low-budget feature program
Screen Queensland has proposed a low budget features program be added to the incentives the state screen agency offers.
The Launchpad program, if accepted by the Queensland screen community, will support low budget drama productions in any genre with budgets up to $1.5m.
The proposal comes as part of the agency’s annual review of funding programmes for 2012-13.
Other key proposals are dropping the maximum investment per project by $100,000, from $750,000 to $650,000 for feature productions and $500,000 to $400,000 for documentary productions.
I hope NSW adopts this. I’ve got a kick-arse low budget comedy drama script…
Here we go again – “experienced practitoners” only need apply – “finalists will be required to participate in an intensive program of seminars workshops & script development”. Thses people have absolutely no idea about writers or commercial filmmaking – thankfully they have’nt included water boarding – pathetic.
