On Wednesday 22 June Screen Australia launched the third annual funding round of its Enterprise Program (EP). The EP provides up to $3 million in support for screen businesses over the next three years. The program to now has provided 17 companies with almost $12million to support the development and expansion of their business which is anticipated to flow through to increased production levels.

Screen Australia’s CEO Ruth Harley commented that “enhanced capacity through Enterprise funding has enabled company producers to recruit key creative and managerial personnel to oversee development and production”.

This program aims to provide long term sustainability for the Australian film industry; “ They’re building alliances with complementary domestic production companies and international partners, attracting private investment, developing new revenue streams and demonstrating innovation in the online environment” Harley said.
