The Director’s Cut program will tour to Western Sydney and then nationally over the next 12 months.
With a theme of ‘Cutting Through The Noise’, Director’s Cut panels will explore the director’s role in a changed streaming landscape and bridging the gap to paid work for emerging directors. Director delegates will also hear from internationally successful directors about opportunities outside Australia, discuss the value of impact strategies for both unscripted and scripted productions, look at how sets can be made more sustainable and ensure that they are a safe space for diverse cast and crew, and how directors can work with funding agencies, networks and streamers as well as getting updates on their rights and representation.
