Christmas comes early for West Coast Visions 2025 recipients

Two Western Australian women, Charmaine Murray and Yasmin Kassim, have been named recipients of the highly coveted 2025 West Coast Visions to produce debut feature film Prawn Curry Christmas.

Supported by the Cook Government, the Screenwest initiative - West Coast Visions - provides production funding to develop talented Western Australian filmmakers with distinctive visions for a debut feature film for theatrical release.

The Cook Government and Lotterywest investment includes production funding of $1 million while Screen Australia's pre-commitment in equity will provide an additional $500,000.

In 2024-25 Lotterywest supported Screenwest with a grant of $10.7 million.
