INDUSTRY ALERT: World-class digital storytelling talent head to Australia for Multi-platform Clinic

Friday 23 September 2011

Screen Australia is thrilled to announce the mentors for its upcoming Digital Ignition Multi-platform Clinic, including renowned pioneer Lance Weiler (US) on his first trip to Australia, whom WIRED magazine named "one of 25 people helping to reinvent entertainment and change the face of Hollywood".

The team of mentors will join StoryLabs director Gary Hayes for a five-day residential workshop running 21–25 November in the New South Wales Southern Highlands. The purpose of the clinic is to enable selected teams to develop a multi-platform production strategy and roadmap for their experiential film, television, interactive or game project.

Other mentors include Matt Costello (US), writer of ground-breaking and award-winning novels, games and television; writer and producer David Varela (UK); and story executive, writer and producer Neil Richards (UK). Laurel Papworth, one of Australia's leading social media experts; Jennifer Wilson, Director of the multi-platform media company, The Project Factory; and creative director, producer, visual and new media artist and curator, Anthea Foyer (Canada), will also join the mentoring team.

Applications to the Digital Ignition Multi-platform Clinic close on Friday 30 September. Guidelines and application details are available on the Screen Australia website.
