Very much looking forward to to being on this Panel at SPA - Screen Forever conferance - Packaging That Sells: Casting Strategy and Market Power in Scripted Projects
When: Wednesday 7th May @ 230-315pm
Description
For buyers and producers, a strong script is just one part of the equation. What truly moves the needle in today’s market is how a project is packaged — and who’s attached. From marquee cast to key creative elements, the right combination can unlock financing, attract buyers, and position a project for pre-sales and international appeal.
In this session, a panel of top producers, casting directors, and market-savvy creatives will unpack the mechanics of building a sellable package. Discover how casting choices shape not just creative vision, but commercial viability; how agencies and market intel influence packaging strategy; and what buyers are really looking for when assessing a project’s potential. Whether you’re developing in-house or acquiring for distribution, this conversation will offer essential insights into assembling packages that stand out — and sell.

Happy 40th Birthday 💕💕 💕💕

What an incredible milestone for a show that has been a huge part of my life in so many ways! I was just 14 years old when I was cast on Neighbours by Jan Russ back in 1989, and I never could have imagined that years later in 2011 I’d have the honour of being the Neighbours casting director over all these years, helping bring so many talented actors into this wonderful world of Neighbours…It’s been a joy, a privilege, and an unforgettable journey.

Check out all the beautiful quotes from so many in our industry in this TV Tonight article: https://tvtonight.com.au/2025/03/neighbours-at-40-everyone-working-in-australian-television-today-owes-you-a-debt-of-gratitude.html
