  • From Award Winning Comedy Showroom Pilot to Full Series the Letdown Starts Production
    Released: Friday 16 June 2017 From Award Winning Comedy Showroom Pilot to Full Series The Letdown starts production Production has commenced on the six-part comedy series The Letdown, for ABC in Australia and Netflix internationally with funding support from Screen Australia in association with Create NSW. ABC will broadcast the series in Australia on TV and iview. Netflix will stream the series internationally outside of Australia, and it will be available on Netflix in Australia after its run on ABC. Produced by Giant Dwarf and co-written by Sarah Scheller and Alison Bell, who also stars, The Letdown was one of six Comedy Showroom pilots which aired last year on ABC TV as part of a joint initiative with Screen Australia. With the pilot episode receiving the 2016 AACTA Award for Best Screenplay in Television, the series continues with the developing friendships and lives of a mother's group thrown together through the circumstance of timing. Audrey (Alison Bell) navigates the steep learning curve of motherhood as she deals with sleeplessness, shifting relationship dynamics, her issues with her own mother and her husband's career ambitions. They say it takes a tribe to raise a child, but these days obliging tribes are hard to come by – so perhaps this unlikely group of women (and one fella) is as good as it gets. With a stellar cast including Alison Bell, Duncan Fellows, Sacha Horler, Leon Ford, Lucy Durack, Celeste Barber, Leah Vandenberg, Xana Tang, Sarah Peirse and Noni Hazelhurst, The Letdown proves that being a parent can be both extreme and hilarious.

  • Presentación
    MONOGRÁFICO Investigaciones Feministas ISSNe: 2171-6080 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/infe.66489 Presentación Graciela Padilla Castillo1 Es un placer poder presentar este número temático de la revista Investigaciones Fe- ministas de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid por muchas razones, que inten- taré resumir en las líneas siguientes. En primer lugar, es un orgullo ver materializado un número temático sobre un tema que tanto me llena y me apasiona, como profesora, investigadora y ciudadana. Las series de televisión me cautivaron desde que mi memoria alcanza y han llenado mi ocio y después, mi profesión. En clase, me han permitido acercarme a mis estu- diantes, curso tras curso, con excelentes resultados. Ver las series que yo elegía y las series que ellos y ellas me recomendaban nos hacía aprender con solidez, ejempli- ficar con tenacidad la teoría de clase y hablar el mismo lenguaje. Por esas razones llevaba muchos años afirmando la necesidad de dejar demonizar la televisión, preci- samente por la altísima calidad de la ficción televisiva. El auge de las plataformas de vídeo bajo demanda hizo que esa idea, por fin, fuera compartida a gran escala y la nueva edad de oro de la ficción televisiva ha diluido esas voces que castigaban todo lo que salía en la pequeña pantalla. Vivimos una época histórica de ficción televisiva, con millones de espectadores acérrimos en todo el mundo. Es verdad que no es la primera vez que ocurre: ha habido otros momentos históricos, de grandes éxitos televisivos, que inventaron y reinventaron formatos y géneros, que son la base de muchas series que vemos ahora.

  • Squinters Media Release
    RELEASED: Thursday 12th October, 2017 Stars come out for new ABC comedy Squinters ABC and Screen Australia in association with Create NSW are pleased to announce that filming is underway in Sydney this week on Jungle’s new six-part comedy series Squinters, a series that celebrates the great Aussie ritual that is the everyday work commute. An extraordinary ensemble cast includes beloved performer/composer Tim Minchin, Academy-Award nominee Jacki Weaver, Miranda Tapsell, Mandy McElhinney, Damon Herriman, Sam Simmons, Andrea Demetriades, Wayne Blair, Christiaan Van Vuuren, Justin Rosniak and Jenna Owen, along with young comic talents Susie Youssef (Rosehaven), Rose Matafeo (NZ’s Funny Girls), Steen Raskopoulos (BBC’s Top Coppers), YouTube sensation John Luc (aka ‘MyChonny’) as well as the UK’s Nyasha Hatendi (Hulu’s Casual). Created by Trent O’Donnell (The Moodys, No Activity) and Adam Zwar (Wilfred, Lowdown), Squinters tracks the trials and tribulations of five carloads of travelers in peak hour morning transit and again on their drive home to find out how the workday turned out. Our commuters include: a dispatch driver hoping to win the woman of his dreams by carpooling her to work; a single mum keen to avoid her teen daughter making the same mistakes in love, while juggling a new romance of her own; a clueless ex- school bully hitching a ride with the guy he tormented; best girlfriends whose friendship is tested when one becomes the other’s unlikely boss; and a newly ‘out’, middle-aged man grappling with both possible redundancy and a recalcitrant dog. Squinters’ behind the scenes creative team is also compelling.

  • Cameras Roll on the Letdown Season Two
    Released: Thursday 25 October 2018 Cameras Roll On The Letdown Season Two ABC, Screen Australia and Create NSW are thrilled to announce that filming starts in Sydney next week on the highly anticipated season two of the AACTA Award-winning comedy The Letdown. Produced by Julian Morrow (The Checkout, The Chaser’s War on Everything) and Linda Micsko (Maximum Choppage, Laid) for Giant Dwarf, creators/writers Sarah Scheller and Alison Bell once again mine the myriad humorous highs and heartbreaking lows faced by new mothers. Over six new episodes, we continue to follow the story of Audrey (co-creator Alison Bell, in her AACTA Award-nominated role) and the local Mothers’ Group she thought she didn’t need. The new season starts with all the babies turning one, where life with child has become the new norm and Audrey finally feels she’s mastering motherhood and life…but is she? Following on from the acclaimed 2016 Comedy Showroom series pilot, which earned Scheller and Bell the AACTA Award for Best Screenplay in Television, season one of The Letdown was a major critical and audience success on ABC (especially among 25-34 and 35-49 year old viewers), and outside Australia on Netflix, leading the show to earn international plaudits including a New York Times’ Arts Section cover story, and praise from Vanity Fair as a “clear-eyed take on parenthood, told hilariously”. Co-creators and writers Sarah Scheller and Alison Bell said, “We are thrilled to be back in production with the ABC and Netflix on another season of The Letdown because it turns out we have many more stories to tell..

  • Moving Forward in the Church
    From My Bible-Sermon Notes & Outlines 2 From My Bible-Sermon Notes & Outlines Introduction These messages are compiled from study notes and outlines of my own and many others. I hope they are a help to you. I’m sure that all of us have at times “borrowed” or “used” a sermon we heard or read somewhere along the way. A thought, a word, or an idea jumped out to us from another preacher and we took that thing and ran with it. You have probably used an outline from a preacher brother but ended up preaching something that was uniquely different. Same idea, it just came out differently when you preached. Using your own thoughts, experiences, and illustrations……...the message became your own. I heard an old-time preacher once say, "Any message worth preaching ought to be worth preaching again!" Well, I have certainly preached some sermons again and again. I have borrowed from others to preach theirs again too. Please use these messages as the Lord leads and preach His Word over and over again! I make no claim of complete originality for this material. Also, please remember that these messages are not expected to substitute for your own personal study of the Word of God! The thoughts and ideas are given as a catalyst to help begin your ideas on a given passage of Scripture or trigger a seed thought to get you going. It is my prayer that the "stuff" contained here will further kindle the fire of God's message that is already in your heart.

If you'd like to be a shareholder in that vision checkout https://theaterchurch.com/vision Enjoy the message. Hey, next weekend I want to give you a little nickel tour of the car barn. I just want to prove to you is happening; construction is fast and furious, in fact, this will be future stage. They just buried a time capsule for us right beneath the altar today. And so you can begin to see what was just a little garage is turning into this event venue, we'll have some risers on either side, which is going to be so fun because it's a large space, but it's also intimate. We'll be worshiping with each other and actually towards each other. And so, next weekend we'll do a little bit more of a walk through, give you a sneak peek of how it's beginning to take shape. But just wanted to give you a quick look inside In 2008 four students set out to revolutionize the eye wear industry; they were neck deep in student loans. They had no background whatsoever in eye wear or e-commerce, more than a few friends called them crazy, but they couldn't get over how much it cost to buy a pair of glasses.
