Brisbane
is the ideal city to learn filmmaking and acting in Australia simply based on its inspiring locality. The visually impressive surroundings include white sandy beaches, beautifully restored sandstone buildings, clustered glass towers in the CBD and a beautiful river that winds through the city.

Brisbane, which is the capital of Queensland the “Sunshine State”, is fast becoming one of Australia's most trendy cities to live. It's best known as being the laid back city, with friendly locals who enjoy life and great weather. Brisbane has vastly changed over the last few years and is now an extremely popular alternative to Sydney, mainly due to the cost of living being lower and the increasing nightlife, entertainment and sporting events held, which not only attract Australian travelers, but tourists from all over the world.

The Gold Coast
is best known as the “destination for fun”, it boasts a fantastic range of amusement parks, white-sandy beaches with crystal blue water, trendy outdoor shopping districts, cafes and an energetic nightlife. It's an inspiring place to live and learn especially for an aspiring actor or actress. The world-famous beaches of the Gold Coast lay just to the south and the peaceful Sunshine Coast to the north, with easy access to a variety of natural attractions and scenery including beautiful Moreton Bay, rainforests and rolling rural landscapes.

Queensland's Village Roadshow Studios have been locations for the Scooby Doo films, House of Wax, Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Daybreakers, and Fools Gold amongst many others.

Daily Schedule
All programs are full-time, with classes or shooting organized nearly every day of the week. The schedules are rigorous, however, students will have the opportunity to explore the nearly infinite cultural offerings around town. The evening workshops meet three evenings a week from 7:15PM - 9:45PM. Films are shot on the weekends. In addition, some classes may be held on Saturdays.

Enrollment
The one-year and short-term workshops have an open enrollment. No previous experience is required. However, all programs are extremely intensive. Students who enroll should be prepared to live and breathe their work during the course of their studies. Given the nature of filmmaking and the necessity of working in crews, students must be willing to devote themselves not only to their own projects, but to their classmates' projects as well.

As space is limited, we recommend early application to guarantee a place in the program of your choice. All courses are taught in English.

Program Director
The programs in Australia will be helmed by Dr. Simon Hunter who developed his experience in media and teaching as a Director of the Centre for Film, Television and Screen-based Media at Bond University. In addition to his exceptional academic achievements, Dr. Hunter professional writing credits include feature films and television series for Columbia Tri-Star, Fox, NBC, and Australian television.
