I’m so happy to see the Bondi Hipsters back again with a new series. As a huge fan of their previous production Soul Mates, the synopsis of the new series sounds like it’s going to be just as funny. Can’t wait for this one to start.

Having been billed to play at a premier bush doof, Dom and Adrian’s USBJ’ing (DJing with pre-loaded USBs) career was on precipice of taking off… when the bushfires hit. They were next booked to play a bushfire fundraiser when the floods washed through. Then they were going to headline a flood-relief show when the hail storms came down. And now, the night before their biggest gig yet, raising money for the #PanelBeatBondiAiD movement, the whole country was thrown into lockdown because of one little global pandemic, “Such a nanny state!”. In spite of the initial personal turmoil, the two best friends quickly see all this as an opportunity to refocus, “pivot” and evolve creatively – but as time goes on, it’s not only their creativity and entrepreneurial-ship that’s tested, but their friendship and sanity.

Keep your eye glued on Stan for this one.

Production on the new Stan series Bump has been running here for just over a month and already we’ve had 37 people performing in background roles in the production. Production on a series like this will normally go for 3 or 4 months so there should be many more opportunities around.

Bump is a 10-part drama series that centres around Oly (played by Nathalie Morris), an ambitious and high-achieving teenage girl who has a surprise baby; and the complications that ensue for two families. Set in and around a high school in contemporary inner Sydney and following the main characters home, Bump explores unexpected motherhood, unwelcome new relatives, and unintended consequences with humour and emotional honesty.

Here out west is an exciting anthology film about to start filming.

“A baby is stolen from a busy, Western Sydney hospital. The apparent kidnapping will cause eight separate lives to intersect in surprising, dramatic and affecting ways over one day in Western Sydney.

But, HERE OUT WEST is about more than this one rash act. It’s about Western Sydney as a place, a series of vibrant and overlapping communities. Love. Betrayal. Family. Community. These are the distinct, yet interwoven stories of HERE OUT WEST”

We have already started submitting a range of people from different ethnic groups and we are expecting to have a very diverse group of people in this production since each of the eight parts of the film seems to cover a different ethnic segment within Sydney’s western suburbs.

Chloe Bayliss shows us what it’s like for her on the set of Doctor Doctor. With season 5 about to start shooting, it’s great for anyone who is hoping for a role on the new season to see what the set is like and who’s who on set. For each of the previous seasons of Doctor doctor there have been around 100 people from MCTV who appeared in the show. If you’d like to join MCTV to have a chance at a role on this and so many other productions running in Sydney, Apply now.

It’s so great to see so many TV series starting production after the delays caused by COVID. We are now working on Wakefield, Bump, Back to the Rafters, The Unusual Suspects and now we are submitting talent for new Stan Original Series Eden too. The great news is that Stan is planning to produce 30 original series a year.

Eden is “a brand new eight-part Stan Original Series which lays bare the dark and secret lives of a raft of characters in a place that looks very much like paradise.”

The series is being shot in the northern rivers region around Byron Bay so the majority of extras roles will be supplied from that area, but MCTV is submitting for other supporting roles at the moment. It’s a great opportunity for our more experienced actors.
