Screen Australia and Instagram have selected the social media talent that will take part in the third edition of their First Nations Creator program.
How do you make documentary and factual content for social platforms that captures and holds attention? How do you condense big topics into 60 seconds? Oh, and is there a business model for this sort of content? These questions were among the conversation at AIDC.
Included in the slate are documentary series 'Facing the Numbers', exploring testimonies of First Nations people; the third instalment in Luke Eve's 'Cancelled' web series; and comedy series 'Plausible Deniability' by Iain Crittenden.
TikTok supernatural comedy series 'Krystal Klairvoyant', created and directed by Erin Good, will release its first three episodes November 18.
Instagram and Screen Australia have selected ten emerging First Nations social media creators for the second edition of the First Nations Creator Program.
Fifteen of social media's top First Nations stars will receive up to $10,000 in funding each, in addition to training, thanks to a Screen Australia and Instagram initiative.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social media creators are being invited to apply for a new initiative designed to build the profile of diverse voices within the space.
