Proving the big tent nature of the Future Vision global TV exchange, being held this week at Melbourne’s ACMI, Aussie streamer Stan held a launch event to kick things off.
Held at restaurant Victoria by Farmer’s Daughters in Federation Square, Nine’s Managing Director of Streaming and
Broadcast, Amanda Laing hosted the event. In attendance were featured speakers at the conference Richard Gadd – writer and star of Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, Soo Hugh – writer and showrunner of Apple TV+’s critical darling Pachinko, and Sally Wainwright – creator, writer, and director of BBC’s Happy Valley.
Future Vision is a three-day event. The first day of the conference, which starts today 14 July, is an industry conference exploring this year’s theme of ‘Optimism in the Face of Uncertainty.’ For those unable to attend the conference in Melbourne, there are virtual tickets available to watch the event via live stream. It will offer insights on what Australian television programs are selling and what international markets are looking for next.
