Screen training organisation Wide Angle Tasmania is set to cease operation after two decades.
Former Screenwest development and production executive Franziska Wagenfeld has joined training organisation Wide Angle Tasmania as executive director, taking over from Abi Binning.
Wide Angle Tasmania and AFTRS have announced they will collaborate on a web series training initiative, Step-Out Web 17. One team will be selected to produce their series.
The closure of state-based screen resource centres after Screen Australia cut off their funding will deprive many emerging filmmakers of a vital bridge between tertiary education and entering the workforce.
The closure comes after Screen Australia ceased funding and Screen Tasmania offered reduced funding.
