Screen Australia investment managers Lee Naimo and Alyce Adams answer the questions any burgeoning (or existing) online creator might need to know before hitting that 'submit' button on their application.
As investment managers, Lee and Alyce assess applications for online support in development, production and completion funding, and they reveal what they're looking for, how to know how much money to ask for, and why you should get in touch before you apply.
The pair also talk about success stories, including The Katering Show, Bondi Hipsters, Aunty Donna, Kacie Anning, Superwog and the Gender Matters-supported series Sheilas, and they discuss the power of niche audiences – clearly seen in the views behind hits such as Mining Boom on Starting From Now.
This is essential listening for any Aussie online creator.
