The Queer Producers Incubator is a two-day intensive workshop taking place on Fri 9th and Sat 10th May in Tāmaki Makaurau. The workshop will support and upskill 5 emerging queer identifying producers who have at least one project in development.

Sessions from guest speakers will be tailored to the group and include the following topics:

– Supporting a team through story development

– Upskilling in pitching, funding and financing

– Creating safe spaces in development, production, and marketing.

After the workshop, the 5 participants will receive mentoring in the form of 2 x 1 hour Zoom sessions with a producer mentor, to be completed by the end of June 2024.

The aim is to upskill queer producers, offering tailored support and a network of peers as they progress further in their careers.
