Aurora has one round per year, which supports up to four projects through an intensive residential script workshop and development process. The program also assists producers with strategies for marketing their films. FTO aims to support filmmakers’ careers, as well as individual projects. Accordingly, in this round, preference will be given to teams with a director who has already made and released one feature film. Scripts need to be well developed and at least at second draft stage. A director and producer must be attached as well as the writer. Teams comprising of writer/directors with a producer attached, as well as co-writers with a director and producer attached will also be considered. One member of the team may reside outside New South Wales. THE BLACK BALLOON is the latest Aurora-developed film to be made, and will be released early next year. Aurora projects now in development include: PRIME MOVER, which will begin production next year, and ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, which is in final stages of financing. Films from the Aurora program include SOMERSAULT and LITTLE FISH. Some of the filmmakers whose projects have gone through the program include Fred Schepisi, Nadia Tass, Rowan Woods, Cate Shortland, David Caesar, Kriv Stenders, Jeremy Sims and Samantha Lang. Page 2 of 7 Aurora began in 2002 and is an internationally renowned development program. Aurora utilises the experience and ideas of local and international advisors to assist filmmakers to focus on script issues, and to explore achievable production finance strategies for their projects. Applications close on Monday 26 November 2007.

  • Crowdfunding and Independent Screen Content Production in Australia
    Crowdfunding and Independent Screen Content Production in Australia A direct economic relationship between producer and audience Rebecca Laycock B.A.Com. and BMedia (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) School of Media, Entertainment and Creative Arts Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2015 Keywords Crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, digital distribution, film finance, government funding, independent film, screen content, Screen Australia 2 Abstract Crowdfunding is a new form of film finance that emerged in Australia in 2010 and is being used by independent screen content producers to raise finance for short film, documentary, television program, short animation and even feature-length production. This trend is seeing Australian independent content producers bypass traditional sources of finance by working with a model for finance that is outside, or perhaps alongside, traditional forms of film financing in Australia. In some cases, filmmakers are no longer solely waiting for government funding to green-light a project, they are initiating funds prior, during and after production to guarantee their film is produced. Independent screen content producers are also establishing a direct economic relationship between producer and audience and in so doing are simultaneously establishing a niche audience for their content. Crowdfunding is to an extent becoming a necessity, especially within a decreased national funding arts environment. However, to date there has been limited in-depth academic analysis of crowdfunding as a source of production finance for independent Australian screen content production, particularly in terms of government action, industry trends, and what areas of the broader screen industry are receiving crowdfunding.
