Screen Queensland’s newest “graduates” of the Production Attachment programme, Joe Frances and Courtney O’Brien-Brown, recently completed their work at New Holland Pictures on the Australia-Finland-Germany co-production Iron Sky with the support of Screen Queensland.

The Production Attachment programme supports Queensland practitioners in their professional and business development through skills transfer between experienced and less experienced practitioners. The programme is designed to allow early-career practitioners to gain credits and knowledge.
