In its latest announcement, Screen Australia has revealed details of the $2m it has allocated to particular people and companies to evolve beyond their present capacity.
The taxpayers may notice this most through Matt Okine, the massively multi-talented actor, comedian, radio host, cooking show loon and novelist who is pushing to build his own shows. He will be supported to work with Wooden Horse, which is an alliance between Jude Troy, known as the development and acquisitions expert at Hopscotch/eOne for fifteen years and Richard Finlayson, the former sports journalism maven turned ABC Director of Television between 2013-2017. First off the block is a screen version of Okine’s first novel, ‘Being Black ‘n Chicken and Chips’.
