Following on from the success of last year’s Who's Who On The Crew session, Screenworks again present a fascinating insight into the unique roles on film sets. 

This session will uncover what skills you might have that are transferable to film work, even if you don't consider yourself a filmmaker, and what sort of opportunities might be available to work on film productions.

Screenworks will bring successful and highly credited film industry professionals to Coffs Harbour to speak about their own career trajectories and how their specific departments work. Our speakers have an impressive list of credits on block-buster feature films and much loved Australian content.

Each speaker will talk through their role, how they started out and what skills you need to build a successful career.


This free panel will be of particular interest to anyone interested in breaking into the screen industry, and is fully subsidised thanks to Netflix and NSW Department of Training as part of the Regional Crew Development program.
