Screen Australia is seeking applications for Springboard - a unique development and production opportunity for creative teams to write and produce a short film that acts as a creatively and professionally relevant calling card for their proposed first feature project.
The deadline for applications is September 28, 2009.
Springboard is targeted at filmmaking teams who have a final draft script ready for the marketplace and are one step away from making their first professional feature film.
Six teams will be selected to take part in two high-level workshops to develop and hone a short film proposal from scratch. Following these stages, Screen Australia will select the three most promising short film projects to go into production, with a budget of up to $120,000 each.
The Springboard workshops will be run by Simon van der Borgh and Jonathan Rawlinson - screenwriting teachers and script consultants with extensive international experience.
Simon and Jonathan have previously designed and delivered film training programs for the UK Film Council, the European Union's MEDIA Program, the British Council, the Fulbright Commission and screen agencies in the UK, Europe and Australia.
Successful applicants will be announced on November 13, with the first Springboard script development workshop scheduled for December 2009.
Screen Australia will continue to support the teams on completion of their short film, including providing festival strategy advice to assist the short in being showcased at national and international festivals.
