Dear Chrysaor Pty Ltd,

 

Thank you for your email requesting information in relation to the feature
documentary, “Hating Peter Tatchell”.

 

I note that you are seeking clarification of the following:

 

•              The total amount of funding provided by Screen Australia
for the project.

•              Who was this contracted to?

•              The total budget of the project and a copy of the budget.

•              Whether the funding was provided to an existing company or
a single-purpose vehicle (SPV) company set up specifically to produce the
film.

 

The total funding amount and contracting parties are listed in [1]Screen
Australia’s 2019/2020 Annual Report under the ‘Documentary Producer
Program’ section on page 54. We can therefore provide access to this
information on an administrative basis. The report provides the following
information:

 

•              Title: Hating Peter Tatchell

•              Production Company: Wildbear Imagine Pty Ltd, WildBear
Entertainment Pty Ltd

•              Producer (p), director (d), writer (w), executive producer
(ep):

o p: Veronica Fury, Dena Curtis
o d/w: Christopher Amos
o ep: Michael Tear

•              Amount: 150,000

 

Screen Australia does not customarily release to the public the total
budget or copies of budgets for funded projects or other commercial or
financial information about its funding recipients (such as whether funded
companies are existing or are single purpose vehicles (SPVs) set up to
produce funded projects). Certain information about companies including
the type of company and registration date is, however, accessible to the
public through ASIC’s registers.

 

Could you please clarify whether you would like to make a request for the
remaining information (not covered by the information contained in the
Annual Report above) for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act
1982 (FOI Act) (s15(2)(aa))?

 

•              “The total budget of the project and a copy of the budget”

•              “Whether the funding was provided to an existing company or
a single-purpose vehicle (SPV) company set up specifically to produce the
film.”

 

If so, please also provide details of how we may send you notices under
the FOI Act, e.g. physical, postal or email address. Is the email address
[2][FOI #11699 email] the correct one to use?

 

This will assist us in confirming that the request meets the formal
requirements of the FOI Act. Alternatively, if you no longer require the
information, please let us know.

 

Kind regards,

 

Screen Australia

Subject: CM: Freedom of Information request - Hating Peter Tatchell
Funding

 

Dear Screen Australia,

 

I wish to request information regarding the grant funding for the feature
documentary "Hating Peter Tatchell," produced in 2020. It may show up in
your records from 2019 or 2021.

 

While I have seen that the grant took place, I have been unable to find
the specific value of the grant on your website or in the financial and
annual reports. I want clarification on the following:

 

- The total amount of funding provided by Screen Australia for the
project.

- Who was this contracted to?

- The total budget of the project and a copy of the budget.

- Whether the funding was provided to an existing company or a
single-purpose vehicle (SPV) company set up specifically to produce the
film.

 

Please provide me with any documents relating to the funding of "Hating
Peter Tatchell" that are available to the public upon request.

 

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

 

Yours faithfully,

Chrysaor Pty Ltd
