AFTRS PANEL: THE BUSINESS OF SCREENWRITING

We believe that a country is shaped by its stories, to understand who we are and who we can be. As the national screen and broadcast school, theAustralian Film Television and Radio School's(AFTRS) job is to train the talent who can create these stories.

Being a screenwriter is no longer just about what’s written on the page, it’s also about keeping track of your story through the long development journey and knowing how to target a market for your work.
