Sbs and Screen Australia have selected ten short-form projects for development as part of the Digital Originals initiative, aimed at providing tangible opportunities for writers from backgrounds underrepresented in the Australian screen sector.
The teams are being developed as part of a workshop under the mentorship of Australian television director and producer, Anna Dokoza and Ryan O’Connell, writer, producer and star of the Emmy-nominated Netflix short-form series, Special. The initiative will continue with a second workshop in February, and up to three projects will be selected for further development, and potentially production, for Sbs On Demand with Screen Australia funding.
The selected projects include:
• A Beginner’s Guide to Grief – Anna Lindner (Writer)
• Breeders – Holly Zwalf (Writer), Erin McBean (Producer) and Dallas Webster (Writer)
• The Dissolution Loops – Grant Scicluna (Writer/Producer)
• 50 Shades of Black (Girl) – Gemma Bird Matheson (Writer) Lizzie Cater (Producer) and Ratidzo Mambo (Producer)
• fine.
