Do you have a brilliant idea for a creative project, but haven't shared
it with the world yet?

The Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) - Australia's
premier screen, broadcast and new media training institution - is
presenting pitching workshops around Australia, as part of the Holding
Redlich AFTRS AWG Pitching Competition, a key event at the annual Screen
Producers Association (SPAA) Conference in November, which offers a trip
to Cannes as first prize.

The Pitching Competition provides upcoming producers and writers with
the opportunity to pitch their project to an audience that includes
international executives, broadcasters and key local industry.

it with the world yet and want to take your dream all the way to the
Cannes Film Festival - register for an AFTRS Pitching workshop today.
