The first episode of Breaking Screen features Yingna Lu of Spaceboy Studios, a creative producer who discusses everything from festival strategies for short films, to her advice when it comes to applying for grants and initiatives, and different takeaways from producing online series, short films, television and features.

Yingna has worked across a variety of formats - on online projects including the Instagram and Tik Tok series Love Bug, short films such as Voice Activated which premiered at Tribeca, television series including the second season of ABC’s The PM’s Daughter and films like the currently-in-development feature Keep Walking, which is supported by Screen NSW’s Short to Feature Fast Track initiative.

Yingna and Steve Anthopoulos co-founded Spaceboy Studios, which was a recipient of Screen Australia Enterprise funding in 2023.
