“The results of the recent 4th AACTA Awards reflects the importance of market driven incentives backed by government policy making and commercial investment in creating and sustaining a healthy and commercial screen production industry within Australia” said Matthew Deaner, Chief Executive Officer, Screen Producers Australia.
“A number of finalists and winners in the Awards have also been recognised internationally, evidenced by securing distribution and critical acclaim in overseas markets and awards.
These outcomes reinforce that an empowered production sector enables us to compete globally and fosters further creativity and entrepreneurialism that benefits Australia financially and culturally, allowing us to share our diverse backgrounds and stories both nationally and in the international arena.”
