You are invited to the Screenworks Christmas party drinks at
the Bangalow Hotel Thursday 15th December at 6pm. This will be followed
at 8pm by Frank Coorey who will present his film trivia competition. It
has been a huge year and the board and staff of Screenworks hope to
catch up with you next Thursday.
Also a reminder to those who are considering submitting
applications to the AFC funding programs over January and February
(take note of the deadlines http://www.afc.gov.au/funding/deadlines/default.aspx/
as some of them start the first week of January and we don’t want you
to miss out!), that Anne Chesher is available for clinic appointments
on Friday 16 December. Feedback from those who attended the last clinic
with Anne was excellent and it is worth taking up this opportunity to
discuss your treatment or budget. Email kate@screenworks.com.au for
an appointment. Also it is worth noting that those grappling with
budgets over the silly season should check out http://www.moneypenny.com.au/
for rates.
Heart2Heart has convened public meetings in Lismore, Grafton,
Bangalow and on the 8th December in Murwillumbah (venue City of the
Arts Space 5.30pm). If you know young people between 15-25years get
them to check
out the H2H blog. We are seeking 5 great story ideas for
development into a script using stories from the region as the source
material. Stories will need to be submitted by 30 January 2006.
Selected projects and teams will receive extraordinary professional
training and mentoring. This will be a career making experience – so
don’t miss out. Contact Anne Chesher 0418 289 632 for information.

Next week the 3-day MediaWorks
will be held out at SAE college. Participants have all pitched
their projects and received feedback, ready to begin the

McKimmie and MediaWorks presenter, Cathy Henkel.
MTV finally have wrapped from their 6 week shoot in a house in Myocum
for the series “Real World Vs Road Rules – Challenge 12”.
Screenworks supported over 20 locals to get a job on this
series. A wide range of local services benefiting from the production
being in the region from helicopter. They used a lot of locations in
Byron, Tweed, Ballina shires and there were no problems with any of the
locations.
Granada have been back in the Tweed shooting their 5th series of “Celebrity
Get Me Out of There”. They have a week to go of a 4-5 week
production period. This series includes an “ask an Aussie” segment.
A few things not to miss out on:
This is the last communication from
Screenworks this year…if we don’t catch up with you next week, we wish
you a happy Christmas and prosperous new year. Please note the office
will be closed from 20 December through to the 16 January.
Cheers
