Creating Pathways to the Screen Industry
FILM - TELEVISION - MULTI-PLATFORM - CONTENT CREATION

We have a custom built Mobile Training Unit that includes equipment from production through to screening facilities. The "MTU" can come to your organisation or regional area to deliver a course tailored to your needs.

We have a great track record of providing quality screen training and production initiatives that help people get into the screen industry, and now Open Channel's Mobile Training Unit is delivering regional programs in Warnambool and helping emerging filmmakers to hone their skills and tell their stories for the screen.
