Commissioners play a pivotal role in shaping what we see on Australian TV screens, working closely with creators to select and develop their stories. This unique panel at MWFF gives you the chance to hear from Australian content commissioners and learn about the work they do. Our panel of industry professionals will explain their place in the Australian screen ecology, demystify the commissioning process, and reveal what they wish creators knew about working with them. This panel is a must-see for screen creators—don’t miss it.
Panelists include Zaina Ahmed (Development Executive, Scripted, SBS) and Rebecca Anderson (Commissioning Editor, Scripted, ABC).
