Upcoming Events

Western Australia’s screen industry is gaining momentum, and the big question is: are we ready for what comes next?

Join Women in Media WA for an engaging evening of conversation, insight and connection as we explore the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of WA’s film industry. Hear from leading voices in screen production and development, and connect with fellow professionals from across media and creative industries.

Our panel features:

Rikki Lea Bestall - CEO of Screenwest, leading the charge for Western Australia’s screen industry
Kate Separovich - acclaimed film producer known for Proclivitas Evie and Dirt Music

The discussion will be moderated by Women in Media WA's very own Sinéad Mangan, executive producer and presenter of ABC’s Australia Wide and host of Expanse: The Pink Diamond Heist podcast.

Whether you’re an industry professional, emerging creative, or simply passionate about film, this is a fantastic opportunity to gain insights and expand your network. And yes, men are welcome!

We're bringing you an exclusive masterclass.

Hosted by Nine Entertainment, join us for an intimate, skills-focused evening where three of the industry's sharpest minds pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to sell a show in 2026.

You'll be hearing from:

Donna Chang, Commissioning Editor, Stan/Nine

Lexi Landsman, Development Executive, BBC

Lizzie Cater, Development Producer, Easy Tiger

These powerhouses will share their inside secrets on crafting a compelling concept and pitching it with confidence - complete with real case study pitch materials you can learn from directly.

Expect honest insights, actionable takeaways and the kind of practical knowledge you won't get from Claude.

Moderated by Melissa Maclean, this is your chance to learn from women who've cracked the code and walk away ready to do it yourself.

Opportunity for Q & A and networking mix and mingle before and after the masterclass.
