Home to some of Australia's favourite stories and cultural storytellers including Little J & Big Cuz, Incarceration Nation, True Colours and The First Inventors, the National Indigenous Television Network (NITV) delivers content for and about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture.  Head of Indigenous Commissioning and Production Dena Curtis dropped by the Screen Australia Podcast to talk about the role of the broadcaster in showcasing and celebrating the diversity of First Nations experiences and supporting stories told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners.  Throughout the episode, Curtis expands on her vision for NITV and gives advice for producers and filmmakers looking to pitch to the broadcaster. Curtis tells us about some of the great new titles joining NITV, including social justice documentary 2.6 Seconds, medical obdoc Our Medicine and comedy trivia series Big Backyard Quiz, and introduces her new team, including Senior Commissioning Editor Cieron Cody and Commissioning Editor Joseph Meldrum.
