Fiona Eagger.
The biggest challenge facing TV producers next year is figuring out ways to keep Australian dramas screening on the free-to-air broadcasters, according to Fiona Eagger.
Eagger, who co-founded Every Cloud Productions with Deb Cox, welcomes the raising of the TV Producer Offset to 30 per cent but laments the abolition of the local content sub-quotas for Fta networks.
“For Australian producers our greatest challenge is keeping Australian drama alive on our free-to-airs,” she tells If. “All the networks want to keep making Australian drama because when it hits the sweet spot, it creates great audience loyalty to a brand.
“But they’re worried about their revenues and livelihoods so, hand-in-glove with Screen Australia and the state agencies, we have to be really clever in how we put deals together.
“We are resilient and inventive but it’s not easy when the government gives on one hand but takes away on the other hand.

Tori Garrett on the set of ‘Secret Bridesmaids’ Business’.
Director Tori Garrett is waiting for the local television sector’s answer to Phoebe Waller-Bridge to emerge and achieve the same mainstream breakthrough for female, protagonist-driven drama.
“She is the breaker of chains. We need to look beyond the usual suspects and start taking risks with new talent,” the director of the Seven Studios’ production, Secret Bridesmaids’ Business tells If.
Garrett returned to Australia from the UK in 2011, with the vision to direct drama. Her early influences were forged over a decade of working in London and Europe across eclectic projects at MTV, Channel 4, Filmfour and E4.
Garrett says she has detected a general fear in Australian networks to go too dark in content programming choices. “Because dark is depressing right? Wrong,” she says.
She points to the breakthrough international successes of The Handmaid’s Tale, Killing Eve, Bodyguard and...
