Amazon Prime Video launched a slate of seven new local originals at a showcase event in Sydney last week, including projects from Made Up Stories, Cate Blanchett's Dirty Films, Matchbox Pictures and Guesswork Television.
With the content landscape continuing to broaden, IF spoke with Amazon Prime Video head of content for Australia and New Zealand, Tyler Bern; Netflix director of originals in Australia Que Minh Luu, and Stan’s chief content officer Cailah Scobie about the direction of their respective slates for 2022.
Amazon will launch nine new originals in 2023, announcing six new unscripted titles to go with previously announced commissions 'The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart', 'Deadloch', and 'Class of ‘07'.
Created by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, 'Deadloch' picks up with a man turning up dead on a beach in the once sleepy titular Tasmanian seaside town.
Our ‘Location, location, location’ series canvasses leading location managers from across the country to find out their favourite places to shoot. Kate Fox, who is predominantly based in Hobart, recently wrapped on Stan's 'Prosper' in Sydney. She's also worked on 'Deadloch' and 'Bay of Fires'.
You only have to say ‘The Kates’ to bring up a brand of comedy that is both individually distinctive
while also a dual entity. With credits such as 'The Katering Show', 'Get Krack!n', and the recent 'Deadloch', Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan speak to IF about their creative connection.
Peter Muston, a line producer and production manager with more than two decades of experience, has died aged 64.
