Are you a regional Australian looking to start a career in film and television? Don’t have any professional credits yet, but chomping at the bit to get in the game?
Screenworks has established the New Crew Register to capture the details of new crew seeking entry-level opportunities. While this won’t guarantee you a gig, it does mean that if a production rolls into town looking for entry-level crew, we can put you and your CV forward to them.
Please fill out the form below to register your details with Screenworks. Please include an up to date CV, with a little bit about yourself.
If you’re someone based in Northern NSW with professional credits to your name, please head to our Crew Database and register there instead.
