  • Daniella Ortega – Multi-award-winning documentary filmmaker and development and investment manager at Screen Australia.
    Nov 24 2022

    Join Richard Lawton of the Australia Independent Film Festival as he talks with Daniella Ortega. Daniella has forged her path in writing, directing and producing documentary content, with her latest film, ‘Carbon: An Unauthorized Biography’ featuring some great scientific minds including the likes of Neil Degrasse Tyson.

    Daniella has also recently joined Screen Australia as a development and investment manager - so Richard jumped at the opportunity to talk to her about her career and how to go about connecting with our national film funding body. She also discusses Fresh Cuts documentary pitch initiative, a fantastic new Screen Australia initiative for early career screen practitioners. Further information on the initiative can be found @

  • Amanda Kaye and Tristan Barr – Multi-award-winning filmmakers at Continuance Pictures Australia.
    Nov 12 2022

    Join Richard Lawton of the Australia Independent Film Festival as he talks everything film with two of Brisbane’s most recognized independent filmmakers Amanda Kaye and Tristan Barr of Continuance Pictures.

    We first met these two filmmakers at 2019 edition of AIFF - where they hadn’t yet met. At AIFF19, Amanda’s directorial debut “Norm” very deservedly won the people’s choice award. Richard was able to introduce the two of them after the festival, and at AIFF22 they returned with a collaboration in the form of “Good Times and That’s OK”

    This episode was taped before the festival - but their film went on to win Best Qld short film, and Amanda again took out the people’s choice award.

    In this conversation, Amanda, Tristan and Richard talk about the creative process, juggling between roles on set, attracting crew to low budget productions and putting your best foot forward when it comes to forging a career as a creative in film making.

    We hope you enjoy.
