Telstra Smarter Business magazine recently commissioned me to write an article on how to get your next big idea funded. I was able to draw on good friends Steve Fanale at App Village, Ian Gardiner at Viocorp and Innovation Bay. As A Pozible Ambassador, I got to know Alan Crabbe at Pozible, and had good chats with Mick Liubinskas at Pollenizer, and Rob Antulov at Venture Advisory

Enjoy the article – There is a nice breakdown of where to go for advice, what questions to ask, characteristics required, and lessons to learn. Good luck!

SPA Screen Forever

November 30, 2013 Leave a comment

I recently attended the Screen Forever conference in Melbourne, organised by the newly named Screen Producers Australia (formerly SPAA)

Screen Forever

Screen Forever
Screen Forever represents the creative, hardworking professionals who make and deliver content for all screens and all kinds of audiences. The Conference is where you can explore the very best of Screen, gain insights, business opportunities, international partnerships and discover what’s on the horizon from leading media and entertainment executives. The Conference is a celebration of the Craft of screen production – for now and always.

Over four days, participants had access to keynotes, interviews, workshops, pitching session and the Awards night. I particularly enjoyed On the Couch sessions with Beau Willimon, the Executive Producer of House of Cards, a one one one with the new CEO of Screen Australia, Graeme Mason.

And it gave me plenty of networking opportunities for my thesis which starts very soon.
