Natalie Bailey was set to shoot feature comedy 'Sumo' in South Africa when the pandemic struck, which turned out to be a blessing as she was then asked to serve as set-up director on Aquarius Films' SBS miniseries 'The Unusual Suspects'.
Thanks to Screen Queensland's Enterprise Funding, Meg O'Connell is adding two execs at her banner Unless Pictures to help drive her slate and grow the business.
Short films, music videos and TVC director Melvin Montalban will make his TV debut on an episode 'The Unusual Suspects', Aquarius Films' four-part heist caper commissioned by SBS.
The ABC has ordered a six-part narrative comedy from Unless Pictures and Orange Entertainment centred on COVID-19 isolation, due to start filming - remotely - this month before airing in July.
Princess Pictures founder/producer Laura Waters and MD Jenni Tosi have repositioned the production company.
