In 2025, Screen NSW launched Gathering Ground, a targeted industry development initiative, to support NSW First Nations creatives working in screen and digital games.
This initiative connects emerging practitioners with established First Nations industry leaders, providing opportunities for knowledge sharing, networking, and industry insights to help strengthen your creative journey.
The next session will feature Kirra Homer, Development Manager at ABC Indigenous and Rowdie Walden, Executive Producer at ABC Entertainment.
Kirra's work spans production, development and original content creation at ABC Indigenous, overseeing projects including Mystery Road: Origins, Goolagong and End Game with Tony Armstrong while championing new First Nations stories and talent.
Rowdie is an award-winning television executive with extensive experience across entertainment, comedy and live event programming at the ABC. His executive producer credits include That Blackfella Show (2025, 2026), Gruen Season 18, Spicks & Specks, Urzila, Always Was Tonight, the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras broadcasts, ABC’s New Year’s Eve coverage, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala and Allstars Supershow.
