Transmedia Funding in Australia

[Christy Dena]

Hello everyone!

Since one of the goals of Transmedia Victoria was to try and develop
the state of transmedia funding in Victoria, and Australia, I thought
it worthwhile to get a discussion going.

It seems Screen Australia is currently reviewing its options and
considering this All Media fund - http://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/tvfunding/category/All-Media.aspx

Australia Council for the Arts have the Digital Culture Fund (I don't
know if it will run next year though) - http://artsdigitalera.com/dcfund

Experimenta have a commission call out that includes "transmedial"
works - http://www.experimenta.org/

NSW have a Digital Media Initiative which includes transmedia projects
- http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/doing-business-in-nsw/assistance-for-business/grants-and-funding/digital-media-initiative

Screenhub had a couple of articles related to transmedia funding after
the TMV event:
* Transmedia Funding: World's most experienced veteran speaks -
http://www.screenhub.com.au/news/shownewsarticleG.asp?newsID=36202
* Convergence: Transmedia haunted by ghosts of 10BA? -

Some questions:

1) What other programs are there?
2) What have you found has worked for your transmedia/convergent/
allmedia funding? Any helpful hints for those trying?
3) What do you want to see happen with transmedia funding?

Best,
Christy
