Overseas content creators to talk multi-platform

Screen Australia, the federal funding body for the screen industry, will next month hold a one day seminar aimed at helping content creators generate ideas which will work across mulitple media platforms.

The event, titled, Multi-platform Storytelling: From Idea to Market, will feature case studies covering features, TV drama, documentary, game, online projects or brands.  

In what might be taken as a hint that those looking for funding from Screen Australia  in these areas should make a point of getting to the November 29 session, the announcement states: “Attendance is strongly recommended for content creators working in any of these areas.”

According to Screen Australia: “Taking a primary project across multiple media platforms enables creative productions to connect with a wider, more involved audience and be more commercially viable. Developing a single story idea across devices, channels and communities requires an intensive creative process, knowledge of the landscape, and complex production management.”
