United Screens of Oz

Thanks to Screen Australia, BSR's Nikos Andronicos and longtime creative partner, animator Dave Carter, just spent a month in the US to check up on production of their upcoming FX series Psychotown, hit the pitch circuit with a new project in LA, and spend a week in New York as part of the Talent USA program, attending the Australian International Screen Forum and meeting with Stateside industry folk galore.

Carter and Andronicos have started a dedicated animation company called Channel Plarb, through which Psychotown and future animated projects will be run. We're pumped about it.

Fish with Legs wins Best Original Score at St Kilda

Our animated short Fish with Legs took home the gong for Best Original Score at the 2017 St Kilda Film Festival awards last night.

The film was scored by the outrageously talented Matteo Zingales at Sydney's Sonar Music. Matteo tapped into Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Joe Hisaishi and South Pacific traditionals to come up with a flippin' awesome soundtrack for our fish fable. 

Fish with Legs completed!

Our Screen Australia-commissioned animated short FIsh with Legs has finally been put to bed! 

Directed by Dave Carter, written by Nikos Andronicos and starring the voices of Barry Otto and Frank Woodley, the film was shepherded through its epic production phase by animating powerhouses Candy Burger and Rubber House Studio, given a transformative score by Matteo Zingales, and sonically landscaped by Luke Mynott at Sonar. 

We are absolutely stoked with the finished product and cannot wait to get it out there.
