Screenworks in partnership with Southern Cross University is offering two Screen Media industry mentorship places to recent SCU graduates (2021, 2022, 2023) and students in their 2nd or 3rd year of study (i.e. who have completed at least 8 units) in Screen Media and related disciplines (Music, Art & Design, Writing, Digital Media) at Southern Cross University.

The mentorships will provide two students with 3 x one-hour consultations with a screen industry professional in their chosen field of interest. The mentors will be highly regarded professionals actively working in the screen industry and each mentorship will be tailored to the individual participant according to the career interests and ambitions specified in their applications.

Applications will open on September 6th 2023 and will close at 0900 October 3rd 2023.

This opportunity would suit 2nd or 3rd year students or recent graduates who are looking to get practical advice and/or more hands-on experience in a particular area of screen industry work. The mentorships can include targeted career conversations about working in film, TV, digital production, animation, games or AR/VR, as well as hands-on experience of particular areas of work such as directing, producing, writing, camera, sound, production design, and digital media.

Practical work experience such as working on set, in a production office or edit suite may also be arranged as part of the mentorships at the mentor’s discretion.

The selection committee will be looking for motivated students who have achieved outstanding results in their studies, who show a commitment to pursuing a career in the screen media industry.

Assessments will be completed in consultation with the Southern Cross University Chair of Creative Arts and Screenworks executives. The mentorship sessions will take place before the end of 2023, subject to the availability of suitable mentors.

Testimonials From Recent Southern Cross University Mentorship Participants

2022 Mentee: Nathania Sutanto

I think this mentorship program was a fantastic opportunity for me. I got to learn many valuable things about the industry I aim to work in. Rich Jeffrey was an excellent and talented mentor for me. He even still sent me job opportunities information after our last session.

2022 Mentor: Richard Jeffrey (Animation Director – Bluey)

I think the mentorship has given Nathania the opportunity to see a working studio first hand and hopefully offer some inspiration as well as practical direction of where she might like to see herself working in the industry.
