Producers won’t be taken for granted: SPAA

In the fifth and final part of our special report on the future of Australian television in a converged, multi-platform, multi-channel environment, we spoke with the executive director of the Screen Producers Association of Australia, Geoff Brown.

According to Brown, SPAA rejects the commercial broadcasters’ ‘crying poor’ argument and will continue to ask Canberra to review the Australian Content Standard and truly protect local drama and documentary production.

Editor’s note: This interview took place in April, before SPAA submitted its response to the industry review. Encore reported on their submission yesterday, and the full document can be found here.
