A2.4 Digital Directions Award

Type: Grant
Funding Available: Up to $6,000
Assessed: by Panel

 

Purpose:

ScreenWest's Digital Directions 2008 award aims to provide development, research and/or travel assistance to newer, and established, drama and factual writers who are hoping to explore the potential of digital content creation and distribution.

One successful applicant be awarded the $6,000 Digital Directions funding package to enable them to develop, research or travel to and participate at a nationally or internationally recognised digital media conference, workshop or attachment (depending on the nature of the project and the intended final platform).

Eligibility:

This award is intended for film and television practitioners and non-traditional media creators with imaginative projects utilising interactive story-telling, mobile video streaming, multimedia messaging, web presence, gaming or other emerging media. Projects that extend the traditional boundaries of single-platform drama and factual programs (including documentary programs) are especially sought.

Projects that are based on an already existing property (such as factual programs, documentary, short film, animation, etc) will be at an advantage but will not be a pre-requisite.

Please note that Digital Directions 2008 is not intended as a production investment scheme but is aimed specifically at assisting writers, developers and/or producers to explore possible development and future marketing avenues for their projects.

As with all Creative Development schemes, Digital Directions 2008 is only open to filmmakers resident in Western Australia. Please refer to the General Guidelines for a definition of WA residency.

How to Apply:

Applicants are to submit the following:

  • Four page treatment,
  • Synopsis
  • Budget summary
  • Explanation of the interactive potential for the cross-platform project from the point of view of the intended final user.
These guidelines must be read in conjunction with the General Guidelines .
