Project Pod Phase 1 complete
Forty-five exhausted but exhilarated screen practitioners have completed Phase 1 of Project Pod which consisted of 6 days of workshops led by international script consultant Stephen Cleary. On top of intense theory sessions and practical exercises including pitching and presentation pratice, the Podlets, as they are affectionately known, had the opportunity to present their project and get feedback from an expert interstate industry panel.
Andy Cox, writer of Lucky Country and consultant for Screen Australia; Richard Keddie, Producer of Curtin and Little Fish; Defrim Isai, head of Production for SAFC; Andrew Pike, head of Ronin Films and Andy Buck, a Melbourne based producer, spent the day listening to project presentations and giving detailed feedback. A big thanks to them all for this mammoth effort. Overall, the panellists were incredibly impressed by the range of stories, creative acumen and the standard of the presentations.
Now the Podlets have to produce a treatment which will be assessed and from that 10 participants will be selected to enter Phase 2 which will intensively develop the projects over the next few months.
Thanks to Screen Australia for their support of this project. Phase 1 was a huge success and we wait with anticipation for Phase 2 to gear up.
