Dear
Maureen
Mark
Hamlyn and Kate Stone confirmed for me today that despite my 43 years of
experience producing and directing films I am not qualified, in accordance with
Screen NSW guidelines, to apply for Early Stage Script Development funds for my
thriller series, ANGKOR.
Not
even a team composed of myself, as screenwriter, and Ian David as script editor
is qualified to apply for script development!
Ian
and I have between us 80 years of screenwriting experience and yet you have in
place guidelines that preclude us from applying! This beggars belief!
Given
that I have been banned by Screen Australia and, effectively, banned by Screen
NSW, I will now develop ANGKOR as a non-Australian project for a non-Australian
company that is keen on the story I am developing.
Why
do you have in place a policy that excludes a writing team such as Ian David
and myself? It makes no sense at all.
best
wishes
James
