Three emerging filmmakers living with a disability will see their projects come to life on the big screen, thanks to the NSW Government’s 2022 Screen NSW Screenability Filmmakers Fund.
Steve Anthopoulos, Natalia Stawyskyj, and Madeleine Stewart will receive professional mentorship and a grant of $30,000 from Screen NSW to create a short film that will premiere in June as part of the 69th Sydney Film Festival.
The Screenability Filmmakers Fund is part of a suite of initiatives under Screenability NSW, an open-ended policy commitment by the NSW Government through Screen NSW to work with industry to grow participation in the screen sector by supporting NSW-based filmmakers with a disability.
