“As we mark 10 years of our Ones To Watch program, taking stock of the phenomenal talent SPA has helped to foster over this time, we have been struck as to how integral the program has been in developing a whole new wave of diverse Australian producers with the tools, networks and know-how to take on the world. The program delivers priceless development opportunities, industry connections and career progression for high-potential individuals,” said SPA CEO Matthew Deaner.
“SPA welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with Screen Australia again in 2022 to help support a valuable internship opportunity which will aid in amplifying the chosen participant’s Ones To Watch experience”.
