The term is still a bit fresh here, but showrunners are not exactly new in Australian television production. But we look to the US as leaders of the world’s most popular and distinctly authored drama and so some of the biggest drawcards at Screen Forever this year are the creators and showrunners of popular American television, like William Horburg (The Queen’s Gambit), Bruce Miller (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Sera Gamble (The Magicians, You).
Gamble appeared yesterday via video link, in conversation with Vanessa Gazy, the Australian creator and head writer of upcoming 8-part Stan/Balloon/Every Cloud series Eden. This is Gazy’s first TV series, so she was keen to get intel and advice from a more experienced player, and no doubt many of those watching were in the same boat.
