Far South Film Inc has been commissioned by South East Arts to develop a screen strategy for the South East Region of NSW for the period 2021-2024. We need your input to give us a clear picture of how and where practitioners and stakeholders need help to further develop our screen industry to provide ongoing benefits for businesses and audiences in our region.

The term 'screen' covers a broad range of activities including film, TV, ads, animation, augmented/virtual reality, digital art, games, web-based content and more.

We understand that bushfires and COVID-19 have impacted many in our region. Some questions therefore ask for data prior to these events. We have included a specific question to measure the impact of these events towards the end of the survey.

Thank you for your input. You'll receive a link to the collated survey results and the final strategy paper in due course via email.
