ABOUT US

Media Mentors Australia was founded in late 2019 by Esther Coleman Hawkins and Denise Eriksen, originally to focus on in-person networking events… talk about great timing! Covid forced MMA to ‘pivot’ into online networking, workshops and of course mentoring. 

 

Originally we worked with anyone in the screen industry but discovered two distinct markets of people within the creative industries who needed different support and had different goals, dreams and careers. 

 

In March 2024 Screen Careers was launched. This is our sister, but separate, company focussing solely on Below The Line workers. 

 

Media Mentors Australia focuses its attention on the Above The Line peeps. The career paths of writers, producers, directors and on screen talent are complicated and hard work but extremely rewarding! 

 

We believe that our community of creatives makes everyone stronger - the more our industry succeeds the better for all of us. 

 

Our goals:

​

• Deliver high-quality and affordable, career focussed workshops for creatives

• Help people have enjoyable creative careers

• Create a supportive community to grow everyone’s career

• Help people achieve their goals

 

Whether you’re wanting to create full time or have a passion project as a sideline - we are here to support you!
