Screen Producers Australia (SPA) has opened submissions for its Ones to Watch professional development and mentoring program.

First run in 2013, the initiative is designed to help early-career screen producers take their careers to new heights.

The program again includes the exciting opportunity to secure the coveted $20,000 Ones To Watch Screen Placement, supported by Screen Australia.

Selected participants will be individually matched with an experienced mentor from within the SPA membership for 1-on-1 mentoring. They will also be granted exclusive access to a six-month webinar series curated to suit their needs in developing their creative slate and business acumen in the lead-up to Screen Forever.

Previous recipients include Amy Parry (2023), Emma Roberts (2022), Jessica Magro (2021), Ljudan Michaelis-Thorpe (2020) and Rachel Higgins (2019).
