Hello ,

Did you know that Tasmania has now reached a negative carbon footprint status? This means the area removes more carbon from the air than it emits and it's the perfect location for our Location Spotlight. Come along for a clean air journey of Tasmania's arboreal delights in the Derwent Valley!

We've also packed some snacks, like news of the imminent arrival of the NSW Government's new Head of Screen NSW: Kyas Hepworth. Cameras start rolling on the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man with a packed out stadium in Melbourne. We went to the Virtual Production experts at MOD so they could guide us on how VP increases production efficiency, efficacy and can help to ease your production budget. We've also got news from Show Group, CATO, Screen Queensland, the SAFC and Screenwest.

Enjoy the sunshine!
