AFC and SBSi: Bit of Black Business
Application deadline: 10 February 2006
The Indigenous Branch of the Australian Film Commission invites applications for a new 5-minute drama initiative entitled Bit of Black Business.
The business of being black today takes many forms... outrageous, courageous, mysterious, simple, straightforward and complex... the good, the bad and the ugly. But what makes our bit of business unique/special?
The AFC and SBSi are calling on emerging and established Indigenous program makers from across Australia to submit 5-minute fictional TV story ideas that explore individual notions and experiences of contemporary Black Business, from the unique perspective of Indigenous Australians. Up to 20 outstanding story ideas will be developed, with up to 13 programs commissioned for production.
Each story is expected to be driven by a compelling contemporary character, whose story contains fresh and insightful points of view on black business today. No experience in television writing or production is required, but a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in this field is essential.
Each application must have Indigenous Australians in key creative roles (minimum writer and director). The closing date is 10 February 2006. For a copy of the guidelines contact the Indigenous Branch of the Australian Film Commission at:
