Press release from Cheese on Toast Productions
Love Gossip Girl or Skins but can barely find the time to keep up with the series? Why not watch a whole season in just over an hour.
Cheese on Toast Productions is proud to launch SYD2030, Australia’s hottest new web series that has just taken out the “Best International
Webseries” at the LA Film, TV and Webisode Festival.
In April SYD2030 competed in LA’s highly acclaimed LA Film, TV & Webisode festival. This premier festival creates an international platform
for TV pilots, Web Content and Digital Features, to be viewed and potentially picked up by industry greats. SYD2030 was 1 of 15 International webseries’ chosen to be screened at the festival.
The last time an Australian won an International Webseries Festival was in 2009 with Nicholas Carlton & Sophie Tilson’s OzGirl. OzGirl went on to be distributed by Fairfax, Tivo, Koldcast TV, iTunes and V Australia Airlines. SYD2030 hopes to follow in OzGirl’s very successful footsteps after the win of their own.
This is an incredible opportunity to showcase young Sydney talent. SYD2030 includes an all local cast, crew, designers, sponsors, locations and distributers. With 12 episodes, approximately 5 minutes each, this is the perfect way to enjoy bite-sized pieces of entertainment without indigestion.
Boasting an impressive cast, including AFI Award winner Sophie Luck, SYD2030 follows the lives of five law university students, struggling to balance their hectic social lives with a demanding workload. While the textbooks are hefty and the teachers strict, it’s the sexual escapades, drug overdoses, boozy scandals and naughty secrets that keep the students of SYD2030 really on their toes.
Despite filming in Sydney’s wettest summer in history, not to mention the helicopter rescues, corrupted disks, broken equipment and some 21 hour shoots, SYD2030 is an impressive achievement for anyone, let alone a team of under 24’s. It’s time to rally up the support and get people following what already promises to be a big year for Sydney’s SYD2030. Check out all the action at www.syd2030.com.au
