QPIX

QPIX was an Australian not-for-profit film and television training organisation based in Brisbane. It closed in 2014.

Description

QPIX was located in Annerley, an inner-city suburb of Brisbane, Queensland.[1] The organisation provided career development for filmmakers and assistance developing and producing film and television projects. It received financial support from Screen Queensland at a state level and Screen Australia at a Federal level and offered opportunities to Queensland filmmakers through initiatives such as the Raw Nerve Short Film Initiative and the White Heat Short film program.

It was the Queensland member of Screen Development Australia (SDA), which also included Metro Screen (NSW), Open Channel (Vic), Media Resource Centre (SA), Wide Angle Tasmania (Tas) and FTI (WA).[2]
