AACTA Development Initiatives

AACTA is committed to discovering and nurturing Australia’s next wave of screen talent. Alongside the AACTA Reg Grundy Award - the largest new entertainment formats competition in the world - AACTA has introduced a broad range of initiatives targeting new voices, and new ideas, under the AACTA Pitch banner.

Launched in 2018, AACTA Pitch has grown into one of Australia’s premier talent and content initiatives, linking industry to emerging creatives and fast tracking the development of new productions through mentorship, investment and promotion.

Across feature film, web series, TV Drama and short film, AACTA Pitch has collaborated with organisations such as car brand MINI, Monster Pictures, the Australian Writer’s Guild and Screenworks to shine a light on a host of new voices, leading to meaningful development, marketplace interest and production.

With diversity and inclusivity a cornerstone, AACTA encourages creatives from underrepresented backgrounds to engage with our initiatives.
