Delivering streamlined cashflow finance to support a stronger, more sustainable Australian screen industry
Australian media group RACAT is pleased to announce the launch of Northern Screen Finance, a new specialist lending company designed to give Australian screen producers fast, cost‑effective cashflow finance backed by strong industry expertise and resources.
Northern Screen Finance is a related company to the acclaimed Australian independent producer, Northern Pictures.
Led by Managing Director Peter Anderson, Chief Financial Officer Steve Morgan and General Counsel Page Henty, the Northern Screen Finance team has a strong track record, having supported more than 60 productions across kids and adult drama, comedy, documentary and feature film for local broadcasters, global streamers and international partners.

Dalliance stars Hugo Weaving and Heather Mitchell and is produced by John Edwards and Dan Edwards for Roadshow Rough Diamond, Network Ten and Paramount.
“We’re committed to strengthening Australia’s screen sector and championing local storytellers, so their work reaches audiences here and globally. With a deep understanding of the production process end-to-end, our goal is to make the lending experience seamless and efficient, empowering producers to focus on creating outstanding content.”
