The Australian Film Television and Radio School has announced two year-long paid internships for people living with disability, through a partnership with Bus Stop Films.
Audrey O’Connor and Oliver Williams, both young adults who live with intellectual disability and attend Bus Stops` Accessible Films Studies Program hosted at AFTRS, were selected for the internships and will work within the AFTRS production team over the coming year.
Nell Greenwood, CEO of AFTRS, said: “We are expecting this internship program to be transformational – for the selected interns, for AFTRS staff and for AFTRS students who will work alongside Audrey and Oliver. It is our intention to run this internship program annually with Bus Stop Films, giving more people with disability an opportunity to gain valuable paid work experience as they embark on careers in the industry.”
