Jules Duncan’s The Big Yarn and Nir Shelter’s Home won the Monte Miller Awards for the best unproduced scripts presented by the Australian Writers’ Guild in Melbourne on Tuesday night.

Duncan wrote the action comedy as part of Screenwest’s Feature Navigator program; it also won the Bill Warnock Screenwriting award.
His first produced screenplay is Rams, an adaptation of writer-director Grímur Hákonarson’s Icelandic hit Hrútar. Now in post, Rams stars Miranda Richardson,...

Vtv.
Earlier this year, Australian comedy web series Vtv won the Best Comedy Award (Outstanding Comedy) at La WebFest..
Since then it's been selected to screen at KWeb Fest, Korea's largest web fest..
KWeb Fest has offered the series an exclusive distribution deal, making it available on some of Korea and China's leading mobile and VOD platforms..
Vtv was directed by Nir Shelter and co-written by Shelter, Tai Scrivener and Courtney Powell..
Shelter describes it as the story of "a TV executive and his quest to drive his successful station into the ground."
Needless to say, his attempts backfire. "The [station's] shows are more popular than ever. [So the series is] The Producers meets 30 Rock, essentially.".
Courtney Powell, one of the lead actors as well as writer, touts the show's "broad comedy appeal. Most people can relate to the increase of piss-weak television shows - reality TV is not just an Australian problem."
The series runs for thirteen episodes,...
