Hello SPA members and industry colleagues!
It’s a pleasure to welcome you to Queensland’s Gold Coast - known fondly as 'Goldywood'- for the screen industry’s most-anticipated national conference, SCREEN FOREVER 37.
The Queensland Government, through Screen Queensland, is proud to be the Principal Partner of SCREEN FOREVER, our annual gathering of all the screen clans where we come together to hear from the best in the business, to share ideas, discuss projects, do deals, and form new partnerships and friendships.
Screen craft is in the DNA of this state. Queensland is simply a great place to make movies, scripted and non-scripted series, documentaries and digital games — with spectacular locations, a wide range of sound stages, highly-skilled crews and heads of department, and great PDV houses. We’re a full-service state, offering end-to-end support, with unbeatable incentives and rebates, and a State Government which has made the business of screen an absolute priority.
The beating heart of our industry is of course, you — our producers. You are the ones who take an idea and run with it, who bring the creative core of it together, with the team, the finance and the market. And you bring it all to life on screen! Without your nous and determination, we simply wouldn’t have an industry.
Thank you producers, for all you do, and welcome.
Wishing you a great conference: SCREEN FOREVER, forever!
COURTNEY GIBSON
CEO, SCREEN QUEENSLAND
