SPAA Log 5

How do you benefit?

For starters, being a member of SPAA means you have the ability to subscribe for the mailing list to constantly be sent more and more information and stuff which is weally weally important to your self esteem especially when it comes to Producing a film >.>

Moving along. The same applies for very much everything else that occurs when being a member, it’s pretty much a binary situation. 0, means you can see everything, ever. 1, you aren’t a member, you see nothing, you pay money to see everything. So I, 1, will be relaying what they more or less teaser you with in terms of resources.

Info:
- TV Audience Ratings for television shows and advertisement in metropolitan areas.
- Access to Australia box office results and top films in limited release.
- Encore discount…

Encore is a magazine/website which covers the latest in the Australian film, television and new media industry. I’ve never heard of it before, or ever seen it in a news agency so I’ll assume it’s a net purchase thing which is sent straight to your house.

… 1 year magazine subscription striking $50 from its original price, and a discount on the ‘Encore Directory’ saving you another $50. Or get a deal involving both saving you more money.

- Several other discounts quick list:
Australian Film Institute Discount – 50% off of membership.
Open Channel Short Course Discount – 10% discount off full cost of all short-courses.
Australian Copyright Council Publication Discount – 25% off one publication every course member enrolls in.

- Events discounts up to 30% on annual SPAA and Fringe Conferences and 70% on seminars.
