The ABC Children’s team has launched a new initiative designed to expand dialogue with emerging and mid-career practitioners.
Every fortnight, development executives Amanda Isdale and Michael Drake intend to meet with Australian filmmakers across the spectrum, including producers, writers, animators and creators.
The free 30-minute one-on-one sessions, dubbed ‘Chat With ABC Children’s, are an opportunity not only to pitch an idea but to also ask the team about any topic, including ABC’s commissioning priorities. Seasoned practitioners may also apply.
“Chat with ABC Children’s’ is a way for emerging and mid-career practitioners to gain productive face time with the ABC Children’s commissioning team,” said ABC Children’s head Libbie Doherty.
“In speaking with younger and new filmmakers, it became clear that there was not a direct path to engage with us, so we were determined to open up an avenue to facilitate conversations and share information on our creative priorities.
