The Film & Television Instute of WA presenting at this years ITA Interact 2004.


Is there a film industry in Western Australia? An animation industry? A Computer Games Industry? If so, how can you get involved? What skills from the Theatre realm are transferrable to these other mediums? Graeme Watson will discuss what it takes to be successful in these areas as a performer or a practicioner, while providing an overview of the West Australian Screen Industry and the role that the Film and Television Institute plays in helping emerging early career film makers.

Graeme Watson studied at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts and Murdoch University. As a performer he has appeared in stage productions, television comercials, short films and promotional videos. In 1998 Graeme produced the debut performance of the successful stage play Degree Absolute in conjunction with Bedlam Theatre Company, a production which gained national attention. Joining the Film and Television Institute in 2002 as a full time staff member allowed Graeme to combine his experience in the arts sector with his knowledge of training and professional development. As FTIÂ’s Registrar he is involved in the development and delivery of training programs that match the changing needs of the West Australian Screen Industry.

The Film & Television Institute is the premier professional development centre for independent screen production & events in Western Australia. It provides an alternative pathway to the film and television industry through education, exhibition, equipment and production resources and is supported by its membership, corporate partners, ScreenWest and the Australian Film Commission.
