As part of the recently announced 3 million July Stimulus Support Package for Television Drama, Screen Ireland has allocated 600,000 in funding that will focus on regional and diverse career growth.
The agency is committed in its ambition to highlight Ireland as a centre of excellence in scripted drama production and in representing a diverse range of talent from all backgrounds in senior creative production roles, ensuring gender parity across the sector, and an inclusive and evolving workforce.
As a direct result, Screen Ireland now invites applications from a Consortium for an open and competitive call to establish a Talent Development Academy for Television Drama to develop and nurture creative talent from across the country within the Television Drama Sector.
This group will help evolve as part of its remit a diverse and regional pool of senior creative talent, whilst also ensuring opportunity within the industry for those who may at present feel precluded from a thriving career within the sector.
The Talent Development Academy for Television Drama call will be the key driver of the above goals, setting out ambitious plans to develop and nurture these areas of growth. Funding is contingent on meeting the strict criteria and conditions set out in our funding section.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 1pm, Friday, October 30th, 2020.
