Screen NSW Power Lunch with Susie Jones, Head of Documentary and Specialist at ABC

Screen NSW is holding a monthly webinar series to help demystify market partners and support mid-level creatives and producers to feel more confident to create and pitch projects. 

Joining us in January 2026, is Susie Jones, Head of Documentary and Specialist at ABC. We’ll be discussing ABC’s slate across documentary and specialist content, what kind of content they are looking for and how to pitch your project to them. With the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) in March, we’ll also seek insight from Susie about the upcoming conference through the ABC lens. 

Susie will be in conversation with Screen NSW Investment Manager Rosie Braye, followed by an audience Q&A.
