Being held prior to the commencement of the Understory Film Festival, proudly supported by SQ’s Screen Culture funding program, the SQ Pathways to Filmmaking panellists include: SQ’s Director of Development, Christopher Sharp; award-winning writer/director, Tim Marshall; and North Queensland-based director, cinematographer and editor, Benjamin Southwell. It will be moderated by SQ’s Director of Production Investment, Dan Lake.
The panel will use their expertise and experience to discuss:
