Award-winning Australian director Glendyn Ivin says he competes in his own version of The Hunger Games when it comes to securing local production crews amid a skills shortage.

Director Glendyn Ivin believes more investment is needed in training and development to benefit from an imposed quota on streaming services.The federal government is expect to announce the changes to the National Cultural Policy in coming months.

"If you get a show up and you have to get a crew together, it's kind of like The Hunger Games," he said.Ivin said he would like to see more money put into training and development, with many film students unaware of viable industry roles outside of being director or producer. "There was a period in 2021-22 where producers could not find enough workers to do the jobs that we had," Mr Dabner said.Mr Dabner said a streaming quota could renew confidence in the local industry and trigger another surge of production.

Mr Dabner said they did not want streaming companies to use quotas to create shows based on formats originating from other countries, like reality TV.
