Multiplatform Screen Producer Scholarship 2012
In 2010 Metro Screen designed and launched a new accredited course to offer talented emerging producers the opportunity to hone their skills and take their multiplatform careers to the next level. The Multiplatform Producing Scholarship course at Metro Screen kicked off in February with 15 hotly contested places for this fully subsidised unique course. The caliber of the program and tutors, combined with the skills shortage in this area of the Australian screen industry has meant outstanding success for past graduates. Students have had the opportunity to pitch projects to Commissioning Editors in Multiplatform from SBS, ABC and award winning digital production companies as part of the course. Students have gone on to take their projects to SPAA and pitch to Lionsgate at Mipcom in Cannes.

Scholarship Success
Three of the graduates from the Multiplatform Producer Scholarship, Claire Evans, Anna Bay and James Boyce headed over to MIPCOM 2010 in Cannes to take their concept to market. MIPCOM attracts the key decision makers across the entire TV content value chain with over 12,000 participants from 102 countries. The students pitched their multiplatform concept developed at Metro Screen called Crime Pays – an immersive, pervasive game wrapped in a crime story-world. The team are partnering with transmedia production company, The Project Factory, joined by director Guy Gadney at the convention. Watch the trailer of Crime Pays, described as The Amazing Race, meets Mafia Wars.
