Following on from their collaboration on feature film 'The Second', Screen Queensland and Stan have partnered on a new fund that will support both up-and-coming and established creatives to develop high-end drama series for the streaming service.
Celebrating passing the milestone of 1 million subscribers, Stan has announced it has commissioned two Australian dramas, 'The Gloaming' and 'Bloom', and a 'No Activity' Christmas special.
THE SECOND follows the author of a celebrated erotic memoir, whose newfound success is threatened when her best friend and muse reveals the truth behind the memoir's provenance, igniting an incendiary tale of sex, lies and betrayal.
Director Mairi Cameron feels grateful her feature debut 'The Second' has the potential to reach a wider audience than “a little Australian film” of its ilk typically might.
Three years after launch, Stan is on a roll, reaching 930,000 active subscribers and approaching break-even.
The BBC has acquired the Stan-commissioned 'Romper Stomper', which will premiere early this year on the youth-skewing BBC3.
This BTS look at the "world, mood and texture" of Stan's 'Romper Stomper' features interviews with production designer Jo Ford, DOP Bonnie Elliott, stunt coordinator Chris Anderson and assistant stunt coordinator Puven Pather.
Jacqueline McKenzie made her film debut in Geoffrey Wright’s 1992 movie 'Romper Stomper' as Gabe, the ill-treated lover of Russell Crowe’s Nazi skinhead Hando. So the actress was delighted when Wright told her two years ago he was working on a contemporary TV series which would follow Gabe, two other characters from the original film and Gabe’s estranged son, Kane, during a race riot in Melbourne.
