New seasons of TikTok series 'The Formal' and YouTube's Australia’s 'Best Street Racer' are among the six projects to share in more than $920,000 from Screen Australia's Online Fund.
For writer and director Stef Smith, creating short-form project 'It's Fine, I'm Fine' - about to premiere at Canneseries - was an attempt to get out of what she calls the "credit desert".
That is, it was a bid, for both herself and her fellow collaborators, to obtain the kind of credit that could see them escape the sticky "emerging" label.
'It’s Fine, I’m Fine' follows a suburban Australian psychologist and the ups and downs of her patients as they explore love, loss, anxiety, obsession, and the uncertain future ahead.
