Me-Lee Hay and Antony Partos.
Antony Partos is honoured to be the new president of the Australian Guild of Screen Composers (Agsc), succeeding Caitlin Yeo, but he might wish the timing was more propitious.
Partos is urging the guild’s members to stay calm and to support each other as the coronavirus pandemic shuts down or postpones multiple productions and job losses mount.
Among the measures he’d like to see from the Federal Government, he calls for financial assistance to help members, almost all of whom are freelancers or sole traders, pay the rent.
“We are facing unprecedented challenges within our industry, but know that the strength and unity of our members means that our guild has never been stronger,” he says.
“The near future holds many uncertainties. The guild will be there for all its members and to respond to queries from the industry as best as we can.
