This seminar will present the main findings from the 2016/2017 Screenwriters Economic Situation Survey (Marin/Balfour 2016/2017) which collected data on pay levels and payment types as well as economic and professional opportunities for screenwriters within
Australia. The Seminar will also contrast these findings with similar research undertaken in Europe (Johns, 2013, UK) and North America (WGA Hollywood Writers’ Report, 2014). <br>
The survey was conducted as part of professional academic research in 2016/2017 by researcher Gabiann Marin with assistance from David Balfour at the Australian Film Television and Radio School and supported through the Australian Writer’s Guild. <br>
