The Honourable David Templeman MLA, Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture and Heritage explained a key motivator for the State Government’s support of the WA Screen Industry was to create jobs and other opportunities for the regions.

“The McGowan Government’s support for regional film production through the Western Australian Screen Fund has resulted in a significant boost to our regions, as well as the film sector,” he said.

“This is fantastic news for the Goldfields region of Western Australia, which will reap the rewards that come with having a film crew located locally, as well as showcasing the region to viewers far and wide.”

CEO of the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission, Kris Starcevich said, “Producers have travelled to Kalgoorlie-Boulder several times and have been blown away with the first-hand accounts of the travelling boxing shows coming through town.”

“The film will provide economic and creative opportunities for WA cast and crew, local businesses and industry professionals. Not to mention, showcasing regional locations on the international stage.”

CEO of Screenwest, Rikki-Lea Bestall explained, “We’re excited that Kalgoorlie will be seeing some amazing production activity in 2021, with the production of Kid Snow presenting opportunities to showcase the region, promote local talent and film friendly communities.”
