Producers have to keep doing what they're best at – telling great stories. But the two big 'digital age' questions are: how can you tell great stories across multiple platforms, and how can you make money from it.
Marcus Gillezeau, Firelight Productions

Created specifically for screen content creators in film/TV production and digital agencies alike, the Multi-Platform Workshop will give producers the creative and business tools to tell a story and deliver it across multiple platforms. Held over three days, the workshop focuses on what creators can achieve now with available and evolving technologies and business models.

Led by International Digital Emmy Award Winning Producer Marcus Gillezeau (Scorched, Storm Surfers) the workshop consists of case studies, talks, practical workshops, round tables and networking with key players including: broadcasters, media and government agencies, Screen Australia and Film Victoria.
