The business of making content for the screen

Producing Australian content for the screen is a high-risk multi-million dollar business. Just raising the finance takes nous, contacts, knowledge and determination. Sometimes even serendipity. ScreenIntel aims to drill down into the data and deals, and provide a platform for Screen Australia staff, producers, distributors and others to share their knowledge and experience.
