Screenwest welcomes producer Eva Di Blasio as the new Talent Development Manager.
Talent Development in Western Australia
“Talent Development in WA has been through a period of radical change,” said Screenwest Head of Development and Production Matthew Horrocks.
“We’ve seen the wind-up of the FTI, Screenwest’s move out of government, and the completion of the Emerging Sector Review earlier this year.
“The Talent Development Manager role has been created so that we have one person dedicated to overseeing our talent development initiatives. It’s important in terms of day to day management, but also to help Screenwest to have a holistic approach to the sector overall.
“The emerging sector is vital to the future of our industry and we look forward to rolling out a series of sector-wide initiatives in the coming months.
“Eva has strong film making experience across a variety of formats and genres, both here and internationally. Being from WA, and having a long term commitment to WA, she’s well prepared to manage what is a very industry-focused role.”
Eva said she is thrilled to be working at Screenwest.
“Screenwest has helped launch the careers of some of Australia’s top creatives,” said Eva.
“I look forward to continuing this success and ensuring that our initiatives open more pathways and opportunities for the wealth of diverse talent that we have in WA.”
