Pamela Wilson Endrina, coordinator for research programs at the Victoria University, told Miguel Gonzalez how the Professional Certificate in Executive Screen Production is helping producers develop their skills, particularly in the areas of budgeting, financing and fundraising.
Does Australia need more courses for producers?
Absolutely – there are very few producer focused courses to begin with and of these only a handful consider the business end of making product. Apart from our course I can only think of a few short courses offered by Aftrs and the Diploma offered by Aftrs at the Centre for Screen Business.
What does your course offer in those areas?
We look at what avenues are available in Australia and overseas to obtain financing for screen projects, the typical legals and budgets involved as well as sales, marketing and distribution. We also cover the nuts and bolts of putting together an investment funding package and how...

The first generation of Victoria University’s Professional Certificate in Executive Screen Production will graduate today.
“Spaa indicated that there was a gap in the market for executive skills such as legal and financial knowledge in particular and agreed to recommend an advisory committee in Melbourne to inform the creation of the course,” research program coordinator Pamela Wilson Endrina told Encore.
The course originated from an approach made by Wilson Endrina and her manager, Sue Marshall, on behalf of the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre – part of the Faculty of Business and Law at Victoria University) to Spaa executive Geoff Brown, regarding the need for better producer education in Australia.
Spaa does not endorse the course, but has been acting in consultation to formulate the curriculum. The certificate was first conducted in July; teachers and lecturers included Jenny Lalor, entertainment lawyer Shaun Miller (Marshall and Dent), Alan Finney, Robert De Young and John Endrina,...

Spaa will host a Parliamentary Breakfast in Canberra tomorrow, to discuss measures to boost TV production, as well as the distributor Commercial Film Fund Initiative and an increase in funding for Sbs.
Executive director Geoff Brown said that while commercial networks had already received a “massive boost” to their bottom line with the reduction of their licence fees, content creators should be acknowledged for the role they will play in the digital switchover – not with financial incentives, but with an immediate lift in drama (adult/children’s) and documentary sub-quotas for the multi-channels.
The organisation also wants Government to institute minimum licence fees for television sub-quotas in adult drama, children’s television and documentary.
Another point of discussion will be the three-year $30m film fund to stimulate distributor investment in mid-range features ($7-30m) that Spaa discussed in the April issue of Encore (10 Solutions to Heal the Industry) and as...
