On Thursday 24 February, Screen Queensland and Screenworks will present a half-day professional development workshop for twenty selected participants, based in Far North Queensland.
Led by industry professionals, the workshop will provide guidance and mentorship to help emerging to early-career practitioners kickstart their careers, learn how to network successfully and prepare to pitch at screen conferences.
This workshop will arm practitioners with skills to:
- Clarify their professional direction and plan to get there
- Stay well connected to the industry in person at conferences and meetings across the nation, or even online, from Far North Queensland
- Focus on their personal development; practitioners will need to know who they are, what they’re good at and how to communicate that to the people who matter to reach your goal.
This course will be facilitated by Esther Coleman-Hawkins and Denise Eriksen from Media Mentors, and Veronica Fury from WildBear Entertaiment.
Please note, participants will require a small portion of pre and post-event work to ensure the lesson content is valuable.
