AGDAs were lovely!

Coming back to these skeets after the AGDAs where I’m now waiting for a kebab on flinders where I’m freezing my butt off is certainly an experience I’ll tell you.

David it’s way warmer than Melbourne has any right to be right now just a warning

It would be marvellous if we can get the word out to fellow peers attending the AGDA's tomorrow night and do this. If I fail then great, I still get a nice photo with local friends but let's aim for greatness and do it!

Ryan Penning ✨ @ryanpenning.com · 2d

The AGDA's will be starting at 6:30 PM. Let's all get together at 6:45 PM and meet at the photo wall to do a massive group photo together.

Ryan Penning ✨ @ryanpenning.com · 2d

I have always wanted for us NSW folk to get together and organise a big fun NSW group photo and I think tomorrow is the night to do it!

Massive thank you to the hardworking members of the Screen NSW team for helping make this program become real during my temporary tenure at Screen NSW.

These programs really make such an enormous difference for the local industry.

Ryan Penning ✨ @ryanpenning.com · 7d

This PAX Australia is going to be something truly special for NSW. Congratulations to everyone, it was a privlidge to help support this program in a small way and it’s so fantastic Screen NSW made it happen.

That’s not even counting Rohan Nowell’s Doggy Don’t Care as a Indie Rising winner, the various student showcasing, Qloud Games bringing their recently capital funded game Loftia along with a premium booth as well.

Ryan Penning ✨ @ryanpenning.com · 7d

I’ve been attending PAX Australia for the last 11 years and this will probably be the first time the indie rising area will have around 10 games showcased by local NSW teams.

Not just from the stand point of economic benefit for our teams growing their audiences, but culturally to - it stings when you go to major events like this and never see your home state represented.
