Screen Producers Australia has named the 12 members of the Screen Forever advisory board for this year's event, including chair Bunya Productions CEO Sophia Zachariou.
Filmmakers, performers, musicians, journalists and writers who have stories to tell are being encouraged to apply for the inaugural $20,000 Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship.
Former Create NSW director of screen investment, engagement and attraction Sophia Zachariou will join Bunya Productions as CEO, a newly-created role, in January.
Sophia Zachariou has resigned as Create NSW’s director, screen investment, engagement and attraction.
The ABC and Create NSW have launched a $100,000 development initiative to sniff out character-driven, half-hour dramas.
The New South Wales government’s two-year, $20 million Made in NSW scheme to attract international productions and high-end Australian TV dramas is proving to be a smart investment.
Zachariou takes up the position only three months after she was apointed Screen NSW Production and Development Executive.
Previously Zachariou was Deputy Head of Entertainment at ABC TV.
