Screen Queensland, in partnership with Screenworks, is bringing the NQ Screen Forum back for its third year in 2024 to Townsville. The three-day event invites regional film and television practitioners of all experience levels to connect with and learn from a program of industry experts, growing their industry skills and connections.
Receive practical advice to finesse your writing, optimise a freelance career, learn the art of adaptation, understand funding opportunities and more through a series of Q&A panels, workshops, roundtables, discussions and one-on-one consultations.
