Event Zero to premiere on YouTube

Press release from Movie Extra Webfest

MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST 2.0 winning webseries, EVENT ZERO is set to launch on YouTube on Tuesday 22 May at 9.00 am (AEST)

The winning webseries in the 2011 MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST 2.0 competition, Event Zero, will premiere on Movie Extra's YouTube Channel
www.youtube.com/mnctv on Tuesday 22 May 2012 at 9am (AEST). Audiences will get their first taste of the highly anticipated webseries with the
launch of episode one, ahead of the release of the following six episodes on Monday 11 June.

Created by Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey (producers of The Tunnel), Event Zero stars a host of Australian actors including Zoe Carides
(Crownies, Out of the Blue), Valentino Del Toro (Gabriel, Underbelly: Infiltration), Harry Pavlidis (Gabriel, East West 101, All Saints) and
Steve Davis (The Tunnel). As well as collaborations with several directors including Carlo Ledesma (The Tunnel), Andrew Traucki (The Reef) and Shane Abbess (Gabriel).

Event Zero tells seven interconnected stories of people caught up in an event much bigger than they are. A report comes in of a train derailment
near Circular Quay. Smoke billows from the wreckage and victims pour onto the streets. As the emergency workers arrive at the chaotic scene,
they realise the biggest threat is only just emerging. People without a scratch are collapsing on the ground and dying – and it is spreading.
Unless someone can work out what is going on the death toll will continue to rise. This moment is Event Zero.

As winners of the MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST 2.0 competition, creators Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey were awarded a $100,000 production budget
funded by Movie Network Channels and Screen Australia, to produce the seven part webseries.
