SBS has announced the six screenwriters that will join production companies around Australia for a 12-month placement as part of its annual Emerging Writers Incubator.
Production will commence next month in Victoria on 'The Spooky Files', a new children's comedy from the creators of 'Hardball' that is being produced by Tony Ayres Productions and Megaboom Pictures.
The impact of the devastating bushfires of last summer will be explored in six-part drama 'The Fires', currently in development at the ABC.
'Hardball' creators Guy Edmonds and Matt Zeremes have taken their next steps in the children's TV genre with 'Spooky Files', a ten-part series that explores childhood relationships with fear and resilience.
In Netflix's 'Clickbait', Adrian Grenier plays Nick Brewer, a loving father, husband, and brother, who one day suddenly and mysteriously disappears. A video appears on the internet of the badly beaten Nick holding a card that says "I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die". Is this a threat or confession? Or both?
SBS has unveiled the participating companies for this year's Emerging Writers' Incubator while opening applications for the nationwide initiative.
Netflix will film Jane Harper adaptation 'The Survivors' in Tasmania next year, in what is to be the largest production ever shot in the state.
In many respects, the screen sector today is virtually unrecognisable from three and a half years ago, and not just because the coronavirus pandemic has devastated sections of the industry.
