Production, Technology & Infrastructure

Behind the scenes of 'Sweet Tooth' | Dir. Shannon Ashlyn | Photo: David Collins

The Production, Technology and Infrastructure division comprises the Production, Facilities and Technology teams. The team works collaboratively to ensure that the School’s infrastructure is fit for purpose to support delivery of the highly practical, future‐focussed and industry-aligned student learning experience the school is known for.

With a largely internal focus, this division brings together the technology, production and facilities team to enable a whole‐of‐school infrastructure that facilitates the practical delivery of AFTRS curriculum against industry best practice, whilst also having an eye on the future and innovation. Externally, the team works with industry and tertiary partners to seek expertise and benchmark on the industry alignment of its facilities and production methods and to ensure safe and equitable access to AFTRS facilities.
