Paying filmmakers for their work
In 2007/08 Screenrights collected $30.1 million from its licences.
Paying filmmakers for their work
Screenrights distributes the money it collects to the rightsholders in the programs, after deducting its overheads only.
In 2007/08 expenses were only 14.8 % of collections.
“Screenrights royalties help us to keep making
programs that reach out to Australian and
international audiences. It’s great to know that
they are being collected on our behalf so that we
can get on with filmmaking.”
