Screen NSW to invest in 20 new local film and TV productions

Screen New South Wales has announced it will offer production investment to 20 Australian film and television programs.

The announcement follows the 2015/16 drama report, which revealed Australia spent a record $376m on local television production in the past financial year.

Among the 20 programs, seven local television dramas will be funded under the new $20m Made in NSW fund, which was announced earlier this year.
