A Feature Film Full of Screenwise Talent!
Screenwise is proudly represented in the upcoming feature film Where the Sky Meets the Ground, written, produced, directed and starring Advanced Diploma graduate Emrah Akbulut, alongside Showreel graduate Jonah Erofeyeff.
Set on the cusp of graduation and adulthood, the film follows four friends as they embark on one final adventure through the Australian bush in search of a crashed drug plane - a journey that tests their friendship and marks the end of an era.
Other Advanced Diploma Graduates starring in the film are: Liam Carr, Jake Gussinklo, Jasmine Clowes and Madeleine Walker with Showreel Graduate Shanika Raikwar.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear tutor and friend, Alan Zitner.
Alan was a cherished presence who brought joy and warmth to every room he entered. His enthusiasm and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
We are deeply grateful for the exceptional training and unwavering support Alan provided to our students over the years. His dedication and passion for teaching have left an indelible mark on our community.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to Jeanette his family during this difficult time.
Thank you Alan. Rest In Peace šš¼

In light of recent events in the Australian acting community, Screenwise reminds all actors, especially young and emerging, to stay vigilant.
Please remember:
ā¢ Legitimate agents do not charge sign-up fees. They earn commission only when you book work.
ā¢ Most casting agents work from professional offices or request meetings in public spaces. Always trust your instincts and verify opportunities.
When responding to castings or auditions, ask yourself:
ā¢ Am I comfortable with whatās being asked of me?
No audition or self-tape should ever involve nudity, sexual content, intimate contact, or stunts.
ā¢ Is the communication professional and respectful?
ā¢ Is the person or company who they claim to be?
If youāre ever unsure, refer to Screen Safe Australiaās National Guidelines for Screen Safety by the Media Entertainment & Arts Alliance and Screen Produces Australia. @withmeaa@screen_producer
Letās look out for one another and keep our industry safe.
