Thomas Charles Hyland's two-part documentary 'This Is Going To Be Big' centres on teenagers living with disabilities and neurodiversity as they share their dreams and confront their challenges while preparing for their high school musical.
Thomas Charles Hyland’s 'This Is Going to Be Big' has added the AIDC Award for Best Feature Documentary to its gongs from last year's Melbourne International Film Festival.
"It was really important to me that if the show was going to be exploring divergent thinking and neurodiversity we have talent and creatives with that lived experience contributing behind the scenes."
Northern Pictures head of factual Karina Holden is the inaugural recipient of the Australian International Documentary Conference Southern Light Award, designed to celebrate luminaries of the Australian documentary and factual industry.
AACTA has announced the nominees for Best Documentary, having expanded the field from the typical six to eight after receiving a record 41 submissions for the award.
First-time narrative feature directors Noora Niasari and Gracie Otto will vie against Warwick Thornton, Jeffrey Walker and Colin and Cameron Cairnes for the top prize at the Australian Directors' Guild Awards next month.
The ABC will rely on a slew of returning favourites and some British flavour to take it forward in 2024 as it adjusts to a new programming structure.
