FUCKING ADELAIDE at Adelaide Film Festival!
Closer's new TV series FUCKING ADELAIDE will premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival this week! I wrote ep 4 of the show and was a staff writer across the series alongside Matt Cormack and Soph Hyde.
Commissioned by ABC and Screen Australia for their 'Long Story Short' initiative, FUCKING ADELAIDE is a six part television drama, directed by Sophie Hyde, produced by Sophie, Rebecca Summerton and Bryan Mason, and written by Matthew Cormack, with ep 4 written by Matt Vesely.
SYNOPSIS: A comedy drama told from six different perspectives of a family who reunite in Adelaide when mum plans to sell the family home. Any sense of togetherness quickly crumbles to reveal how fucked and glorious it is to be home. Starring Pamela Rabe, Kate Box, Tilda Cobham-Hervey and Brendan Maclean.
FUCKING ADELAIDE will have its TV premiere on ABC TV in early 2018!
