The secrets of how to break into the screen and media industry will be revealed in an online zoom event with some of Australia’s leading film, television and music professionals.

If you have ever dreamt of working in film and TV but are unsure how to score your break into the big time, Screenworks and Southern Cross University (SCU) invite you to join with the panel on July 24 for ‘Breaking into the Screen and Media Industries’.

Multi-award-winning filmmaker Jocelyn Moorhouse of The Dressmaker fame will be joined by screenwriter, director and producer Stuart Beattie (Pirates of the Caribbean and Collateral), multi-award-winning screen composer Caitlin Yeo (Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan) and Emmy award-winning creator and Ludo Studio co-founder Daley Pearson (Bluey).

Facilitating the panel is Northern Rivers based producer and Screenworks founding member Lois Randall (Grace Beside Me).

Screenworks chief executive Ken Crouch said the highly-accomplished industry guest speakers will talk about their careers and working in the screen and media industries.

“Through this Screenworks and SCU partnership, we look forward to helping create a bridge for students between studying Screen and Media at university and pursuing a professional career in the industry,” Mr Crouch said.

SCU academic and media artist Grayson Cooke said the acclaimed line-up was an inspiration to students and early-career practitioners.

“Not only will they share stories and advice on possibilities in the screen, media and music industries, they’ll also explain the impact COVID restrictions have had on the industry and where new opportunities are emerging, as well as taking questions from the audience,” he said.

“This event was originally planned to be held at Southern Cross University Lismore campus, however, this online format now enables larger scope for early-career filmmakers and musicians around the country to come together and learn from the best.

“It’s a must-attend opportunity for anyone who is interested in composing, writing, film and television production and animation.”

The Screenworks and Southern Cross University panel event will be held on Friday, July 24 from 11am to 1pm. To register visit http://wwww.scu.edu.au/screenworks
