Canberra screen professional selected for Enterprise Tasman 2006
Michael Tear of local firm, Bearcage Productions, has been selected to participate in Enterprise Tasman 2006, an intensive workshop for screen business entrepreneurs in the film, television and interactive media industry. Enterprise Tasman is an innovative program designed to equip Australian and New Zealand screen business entrepreneurs with essential business skills. The successful sixteen applicants for the program include four from New Zealand and twelve from Australia.
Devised and helmed by Olsberg|SPI, Europe’s leading specialist management consultancy for the media industries, Enterprise Tasman 2006 is the successor to Enterprise Australia and Enterprise Tasman. This year’s program will feature extended business mentoring after a residential workshop to enable participants to work on a new company business plan. This year’s program also includes entrepreneurs who operate post-production and facilities houses.
The principal partners in this initiative are the New Zealand Screen Council in association with the Australian Film Commission, Australian Film, Television and Radio School, Film Australia, Film Finance Corporation, Film Victoria, New South Wales Film and Television Office, and South Australian Film Corporation.
Enterprise Tasman 2006 began with a residential workshop in Milawa, Victoria from 24-28 March 2006. The second stage of the program will be held in June 2006.
Michael has informed ScreenACT that the program last month consisted of formal presentations, intensive workshops, and lots of networking. He and the other participants were given the time to refine their business strategies and to tap the brains of some highly impressive advisers from Australia, the US and UK. Michael said: “The fact that the program was conducted with peers from my industry meant that we could use the experience of those around to input into the business plan. It was a very enriching experience and will lead to good outcomes for our company.”
