Decent line-up of locally made dramas, comedies and documentaries, despite the difficulties of COVID and federal funding cuts.
Interesting that Here Out West is described as a feature film rather than a telemovie. Does it mean it will be released in cinemas first before it airs on TV?
It will be a big year for the ABC as it is the broadcaster’s 90th anniversary plus a potential federal election.
I did notice on TVTonight they mentioned that ABC have said it’s too soon for announcements of renewal for either.
Probably need to see season pitches I imagine.
So there is hope!
More details were announced today on 3-part documentary Ningaloo with Tim Winton (working title), first unveiled at ABC’s upfronts last November. It is scheduled to roll out on wildlife and nature programmer Love Nature’s platforms internationally and on Sky Nature in the UK, Germany and Italy later this year. Flame Distribution handles worldwide sales outside of all coproducer territories.
