Film Victoria
Acquitting your development funding
As well as delivering your script and associated acquittal documents, you’ll need to provide documents detailing the development process you have just undertaken.
These documents are designed to assist us in understanding the work you’ve done, and in tailoring further development for your project. They are also used to plan Film Victoria's broader script development strategies, program reviews and script events for all practitioners. They are read and analysed in detail by the Script Development department and are not just a contractual tick-box requirement.
Please note: these documents will be carefully assessed before payments are made, and Film Victoria reserves the right to withhold payment until these deliverables are assessed as satisfactory.
