The industry today is more analytical and business like and will seek to take advantage of talent pools and funding streams wherever they exist.

Exclusive or pitched assignments involve a film producer or film director working with a single writer who has often already begun to work an idea into greater levels of detail.

The Australian film industry is seen by the significant international studios as being a rich source of talent. This is in no small way down to the efforts of the overseas AusFilm team resident in Los Angles. The team provides a professional interface for American projects into the vast pool of talent and resources that make up the film industry in Australia. They advise American side clients on the structure and funding options available in the Australian film industry and can specifically provide access to the talent base in Sydney and Melbourne in particular.

Victoria has significant screenwriter talent with experience across multiple genres of scriptwriting and the eMate site at www.filmvicemate.com is a site created to allow film making talent, including scriptwriters, to establish early contact with a view to working together on a project.

As well as being of the highest quality, script writing talent that is located in Victoria can be part of a considered plan to locate production efforts in Victoria state. Providing a project is a footloose project, one that is capable of being located elsewhere in Australia or outside of the country. Further grants are available through the Film Victoria Production Investment program. Co-production agreements can also lead to script writing funding in both Australia and the co-production partner nation.

Victoria State Production Investment Attraction fund levels, once essential criteria are met, are determined by a committee who examine (PIAF) several elements of a projects structure including the amount of Victoria based expenditure. Script writing costs would clearly meet these criteria, and ensuing PAIF funding would justify using local talent for all or part of the script writing effort.
