Activity: The MCT ScreenLab aims to provide accessible, professional screen-based training for individuals with diverse lived experiences, including those experiencing homelessness, disability, and mental health challenges. This 20-week program expands Milk Crate Theatre’s Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) practice into film and digital storytelling. It includes intensive learning led by professional screen artists covering story development, concept planning, production, post-production, and funding, followed by a hands-on creative production phase where participants create original screen content. Delivered in accessible community spaces in the City of Sydney, the initiative seeks to unearth new talent, champion diverse narratives, and build pathways into the screen sector for underrepresented voices in Australia.
