See Saw Films and Jump Film and TV have kicked off production on live action series ‘The Legend of Monkey’ for ABC, TVNZ and Netflix.
Playing a guy whose baby son is abducted in the BBC/ABC psychological drama 'The Cry' was one of the most challenging roles in Ewen Leslie’s illustrious career.
The impact of the devastating bushfires of last summer will be explored in six-part drama 'The Fires', currently in development at the ABC.
'Blaze', 'How To Please A Woman', 'Sissy' and 'Sweet As' will contend for the best original feature prize at this year’s AWGIE Awards, while 'Mrs Harris Goes to Paris', 'The Stranger' and 'The Drover's Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson' are up for the adapted gong. 'The Newsreader' leads in television with two nominations alongside 'Total Control', 'Firebite', 'Bump' and 'Heartbreak High'.
