"These events are vital for emerging artists and filmmakers. Thank you Metro Screen." Speed Networking participant.

“Metro Screen is the only organisation in Sydney that really supports and encourages emerging filmmakers. We were so excited when we found out about their fantastic resources and have both benefited from the training courses and the support of the Metro Screen Network group. Thanks to generous funding from Metro Screen, we were able to use professional equipment that made a massive difference to the quality of our production. Our film has since received two distribution deals and numerous international screenings.” Tonnette Stanford, Director and Katherine Wilkinson, Producer The Vicious and the Delicious.
