Screenworks’ New Kids on the Block


May 14, 2024

Conference dates: 31 July – 2 August

Applications close: Monday 10 June

The 2024 Queensland recipients for the Screenworks New Kids on the Block program are Sam Pates (Cairns), Rebecca Anderson (Trinity Beach), John Doolan (Cairns), Beverley Marcusson (Pie Creek), and David Quarrell (Bargara).


Screen Queensland has partnered with Screenworks for New Kids on the Block 2024 supporting up to five Queensland practitioners to attend the Regional to Global Screen Forum in Lennox Head from 31 July – 2 August.

Designed for emerging practitioners and first-time attendees, New Kids on the Block provides both in-person and financial support through our Market and Travel Fund of up to $1,000 to help with registration, travel and accommodation costs.

Screenworks’ annual Regional to Global Screen Forum brings together leading screen producers, sales agents, broadcasters, streamers, agency representatives, and industry guilds from across the country to participate in interactive panels, workshops and roundtables. The three-day event is also an opportunity for filmmakers to pitch their slates and make valuable connections.
