Emerging creators given training pathway at the ACTF

Two emerging creators will gain invaluable experience in the world of children’s television, after being selected to join the ACTF’s internship program.

Trystyn Bowe is an emerging writer with a background in arts policy who is passionate about quality children’s television. Trystyn will join the ACTF this month for 16 weeks, working with the ACTF team across content development, financing, policy and production.

Writer, director and producer Rae Choi will join the ACTF for the second internship in 2023. Rae is currently in post-production on a short film for ABC ME as part of the Screen Australia/ABC Kaleidoscope Initiative. 

The ACTF internship program is aimed at those who are at early career stage with some industry experience.

Trystyn and Rae will be given a thorough grounding and insight into the world of children’s television as they work alongside the ACTF team, building on their experience and further expanding their industry knowledge in areas relevant to content creators and producers.

We look forward to welcoming Trystyn and Rae to the ACTF.
