Flinders can again boast success in the highly acclaimed international digital design awards The Rookies, with several Flinders/ CDW students announced among the winners of the 2018 competition.

Aden Beaver won an internship at the internationally-leading visual effects company Method Studios, Emma Wittwer and Ryan Mugan won scholarships at the online school CG spectrum, with Emma also winning a scholarship with Rising Sun Pictures and UniSA. The official school results for The Rookies will be released in August and Flinders is hoping to take home a title for the second year in a row.

The wins come amid news of high achievements from Flinders University’s Creative Arts (screen) graduates, including:

Stephanie Jaclyn (2015, BCA (Screen)) who received a $9930 Carclew development grant and $3950 funding from the Helpmann Academy to create a short “drama mystery” film project Wake.

Rachael Wegener (2004, BCom; 2007, BA; 2008, BCreatArts (Hons, Screen)) who was recently announced as a Screen Producers Australia ‘2018 Ones To Watch’.
