On Thursday 28 May 2020, members of the ASPERA community gathered via Zoom to discuss their strategies, solutions and concerns in relation to screen production teaching and research at a tertiary level in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meeting was proposed and chaired by David Balfour from AFTRS on the eve of the release of the Australian Screen Production Industry COVID-Safe Guidelines.
Here is the audio recording of the session, which included a Q&A with Lyn Norfor, who is head of Producing and Production at AFTRS and a member of the Australian Screen Sector Task Force that developed the Guidelines.
