The Australian Directors Guild (ADG) and Screen Australia today announced that upcoming South Australian feature A Month of Sundays, directed by Matthew Saville, is the next project to take part in the Director’s Attachment Scheme.
“This scheme offers career-defining placements with Australian directors of international acclaim, to whom we are enormously grateful for sharing their craft and helping develop the next generation of talented Australian directors. This latest attachment is a very exciting chance to work with Matt Saville and Madman Productions on A Month of Sundays, a witty and fresh feature film backed by Screen Australia” Screen Australia’s Head of Production Sally Caplan commented.
Ms Caplan explained that the Director’s Attachment Scheme is an industry incentive for emerging feature film directors to develop their craft. Funded by Screen Australia and managed by the ADG, the scheme provides three director’s attachments annually. Participating films primarily shot in Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia are open to applicants from those states. Participating films shot in all other states and territories are open to applicants from anywhere in Australia.
“We are pleased to announce our second attachment for the year and our first attachment for South Australia,” said ADG Executive Director Kingston Anderson. “This is a unique opportunity for a new director from South Australia to learn from one of Australia’s leading directors.”
