SBS has revealed the next crop of creatives for its Emerging Writers' Incubator, with six participants set to begin paid 12-month placements at production companies across the country.
Christmas has come early for 19 feature films, 11 television dramas, and two online projects, which will collectively share $1.2 million of Screen Australia development funding.
"I felt there was a story in there I wanted to locate, about what it is to feel a bit different, and to feel that who you are isn't really valued."
Screen Australia has named Bobby Romia head of development, succeeding Louise Gough, who leaves the agency next week.
Former Screen Australia head of development Louise Gough has taken up an executive producer role with Picking Scabs, the joint venture between See-Saw Films and writer/showrunner Samantha Strauss.
Kaitlyn Dever, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Aisha Dee will topline 'Apple Cider Vinegar', a limited series that Netflix has ordered from See-Saw Films and its joint venture with Samantha Strauss, Picking Scabs.
