Screen Awards with Ones to Watch

Last week marked a milestone in the journey of Blinded by Rainbows, we were honored to attend the SPA Awards as part of the Ones To Watch. The SPA Awards showcased the incredible talent and dedication of the industry's finest. As we watched the deserving winners claim their well-deserved accolades, we were reminded of the immense creativity and storytelling prowess that characterizes the Australian screen industry.

See-Saw Films emerged as a powerhouse, capturing both the Production Business of the Year and Feature Film Production of the Year Awards. Their exceptional work exemplifies the heights that can be reached through a tireless commitment to authentic storytelling. 

Ambience Entertainment, Fremantle Australia, Mad Ones Films, and Ludo Studio also left their mark, each taking home two SPA Awards. Their contributions to the industry demonstrate the breadth of talent and diversity of stories that thrive within the Australian screen landscape.

In this transformative year for Blinded by Rainbows, we had the privilege of being mentored by the extraordinary team at Aquarius Films. Under their guidance, we were able to navigate the challenges of the industry and discover our unique creative voice. Their wisdom and unwavering support have played an instrumental role in our growth, and for that, we extend our deepest gratitude to Aquarius Films.

The SPA Awards celebrated the vibrant tapestry of productions that captivate audiences across various genres. From the heartwarming animated series Bluey by Ludo Studio to the captivating drama series Heartbreak High by Fremantle Australia, the winners embodied the power of storytelling to inspire, entertain, and provoke thought.

We were delighted to witness the recognition of Aquarius Films' Savage River, which earned them the Telemovie or Miniseries Production of the Year award. This achievement stands as a testament to the impact of mentorship and the invaluable guidance provided by industry veterans. We offer our sincerest congratulations to Aquarius Films and their remarkable mentors for their exceptional work.

As we embark on our own creative journey, the SPA Awards served as a wellspring of inspiration. The event reinforced our belief in the power of storytelling to transcend boundaries, uplift communities, and ignite change. We are honored to be part of an industry that consistently showcases the unique heritage, culture, and stories that make Australia shine on the global stage.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Screen Producers Australia and its esteemed members for this remarkable opportunity. We also express our deepest appreciation to Aquarius Films and for their invaluable mentorship and guidance. A special thank you to VIC Screen for their support, their belief in our vision and their commitment to nurturing talent have been instrumental. We are truly grateful for their guidance and encouragement. As we continue our journey, guided by the lessons learned and the luminous examples set by the SPA Awards winners, we remain committed to telling authentic and compelling stories.
