Film Victoria to support online efforts
Film Victoria has launched a new funding strand to help screen businesses capture greater benefits online and open up local content to a global audience, called Screen Business – Online.
“This pioneering new initiative will support businesses in delivering content to the global market by providing access to funds to set up a sustainable online presence, as well as create, distribute and sell content online to enable a wider audience beyond the traditional screens of TV and cinema,” said Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business Louise Asher.
A grant of up to $10,000 is available for established film, TV or digital media companies to create or extend their presence online by developing web tools and strategies for their business, individual projects, slate of projects or back catalogue, such as:
- search engine optimisation for businesses to capture key search terms on the internet
- development of high end analytics to provide data on audience behaviour and location
- development of distribution tools online, such as video on demand or aggregation tools
- development of complementary mobile applications for a screen project
- online distribution, such as licensing content to internet protocol television (IPTV) providers
