Next week’s Screen Forever conference offers attendees more opportunities to network and do business with international streaming networks and producers than ever before.
That’s according to Screen Producers Australia CEO Matt Deaner, who is excited about the line-up of keynote speakers and sessions including those modeled on the ABC’s Q&A and You Can’t Ask That.
