We are honoured to have the opportunity to learn from the oldest cultural storytellers in the world and seek to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture and perspectives with children in Australia and around the world via stories on screen.

ACTF Project Development Funding Rounds Increase to Assist Producers and Writers During COVID-19

Over the coming months, the ACTF will hold a script development funding round each month to support producers and writers of quality children’s projects during the current COVID-19 lockdown. Decisions will be made within 2 weeks of each deadline to enable projects to start development as quickly as possible.

This is a great time for experienced producers and writers to spend time developing the next great Australian children’s series and we want to be able to provide support during this time.

The first project development funding deadline is 20th April.

The ACTF’s usual guidelines and criteria will apply. Head to the funding section of the ACTF website for information and guidelines as well as the new funding application deadlines and application form.
