Screen Queensland, in partnership with Essential Screen Skills, Kolperi Outback Filmmaking and Screen Well, is reigniting our immensely successful Film Intensive Script to Screen (FISS) program with iterations running in both Brisbane and Cairns in 2025.
FISS is an entry-level crew development program aimed at participants aged 18 or over, including those with transferrable skills from other professions, who are looking to gain set-ready production skills and industry credits. Selected participants will be mentored by highly experienced local industry professionals to build hands-on filmmaking experience through a series of workshops and intensives, culminating in the production of new short films. Find out more.
Participants who live outside of Cairns in the North or Far North Queensland region can request financial assistance to cover travel and accommodation costs within the application form. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we may organise a video call to discuss your individual needs.
