Former Screen Australia and Australian Film Commission executive Sophie Harper has joined Screen Canberra as senior manager, overseeing the $5 million Cbr Screen Fund.
Launched last year, the fund has given conditional approval to five projects with $610,000 in combined funding.

The latter is a female-driven drama/romance/thriller from rookie writer-director Denai Gracie, which centres on an elite show jump rider whose world is upended when her leg is amputated after a car accident.

Writer-director Tony D’Aquino’s debut feature The Furies, feature documentary Family from director Kim Beamish and a presently untitled six-part drama from Blackfella Films/the ABC are the first three projects to be supported by Screen Canberra’s Cbr Screen Fund.
First announced in June, the $5 million fund is aimed at boosting the local sector in the Act, as well as attracting projects that lift Canberra’s international profile. It is the first dedicated fund Screen Canberra has had for three years, and the funding can go towards late stage development (with market attachment); equity, debt and structured funding; P&A funding or enterprise funding.
Both The Furies, which shot earlier this year, and Family are from Act-based practitioners. The Furies was developed through Screen Canberra’s Accelerator Pod initiative, a collaboration with The Film Distillery and sales agent Odin’s Eye Entertainment.
