Wonderful to see how well supported our local industry is with beautiful awards and appropriate ceremony at the Heath Ledger Theatre, the perfect setting.
Sincere congratulations and well done to all involved from the winners and nominees to the hard-working organizers at the relocated FTI. Quoting from FTI’s Facebook Page today:
Heath Ledger Theatre in Perth last night, Monday 14 July 2014, hosted by comedian Claire Hooper.
The West Australian covered the evening: “Winton Film Tops Local Oscars”
Independent Film Magazine made comment: “The Turning Takes WASA’s Feature Prize”
The WA Screen Awards have turned a page. A revamped and renewed Film and Television Institute led by the very capable Paul and marketed so well by Michael.
The whole FTI team have obviously taken up the challenge and made our awards relevant again.
The WASA’s have grown up! Sincere congratulations again, to all the winners, nominees and hard-working-now-celebrating, FTI!
Sorry we missed the professional celebrations this year, we’ll definitely make a date for next!
Facebook was full of congratulations and comments lauding our local filmmakers. All very well deserved:
