Screen Australia, ABC and NITV are supporting up to eight First Nations teams through their romcom short film initiative—Proper Loved Up.

With support from Screen Queensland, mid-career First Nations producers from across the state can apply.

This is a great opportunity for emerging filmmakers (writers and directors) to launch their careers and for mid-career producers to gain further practical experience, producing a short film in the romantic comedy genre, and grow their slate. 

Learn more about the initiative and read the guidelines here.
