"This Ausfilm Television Week builds on previous co-production events and is an excellent opportunity to explore the new incentive and program for high-end TV drama from both our countries," said Debra Richards, CEO, Ausfilm.

The event schedule will feature meetings for Australian producers with UK counterparts for specific television co-production projects that hold international appeal along with television incentive panel sessions, finance workshops and networking events to develop and foster strong growth between the Australian and UK television and film industries.

Australia's High-end Television Development Program is a new initiative to support the development of internationally driven high-end television drama. The program will identify inventive high-end TV series ideas with an international key market, enabling Australian producers to work within the international broadcasting environment.

It has been set up in recognition of the unprecedented audience and market growth for high-end television, and the ambitious, authorial and emotionally engaging storytelling that has connected with high-end global audiences, who flocked to shows such as Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Top of the Lake, House of Cards and The Bridge.

Following a call out for submissions, the following Australian producers have been selected to attend Ausfilm Television Week London to meet with leading UK production partners.
