Screen Australia has announced 11 projects that will share in $2.2 million of online production funding. Among the chosen projects was our own rom-com series Love Me Lex created and written by Sanja Katich.
Screen Australia’s Head of Online, Lee Naimo, said, “It’s fantastic to see that the volume and standard of applications to the Online Production fund hasn’t slowed down, with online creators yet again proving that they can tell clever and complex stories for a variety of platforms.”
“From impactful documentaries to rom-coms, the range of genres covered in these projects shows that Australian creators are constantly exploring new and exciting ways of engaging their audiences. It’s great to see so many newer voices and talents represented in these teams, demonstrating the opportunities for emerging Australian talent that Screen Australia is providing,” said Naimo.
Over the past four years, Screen Australia has supplied more than $22 million of funding to online creators for projects across a variety of platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
We are very pleased that Screen Australia funded A$35,000 towards the production, development and equity of Love Me Lex.
This is extremely exciting news as this was our first project, just as Lesflicks and Infinite Pies Productions launched the SapphicIFF collaboration.
This success shows how the combination of Lesflicks' streaming experience and the industry insight of Karen and Naomi at SapphicIFF can generate real opportunities to access funding to create quality sapphic content.
