Australian drama productions hit record $1.9 billion expenditure
A new report released today by Screen Australia shows a record-breaking level of expenditure on drama productions in 2020/21, but Screen Producers Australia (SPA) has rung alarm bells as most of the growth has come from foreign productions.
Screen Australia’s 31st annual ‘Drama Report’ found $1.9 billion was spent on drama productions in Australia, made up of $1.04 billion on foreign productions produced or post-produced here, and $874 million on Australian-backed projects.
This compares to a pre-pandemic spend of $413 million on foreign productions and $797 million on local content in FY19.
