What a lovely interaction between the members of the Puglisi family on this Mothers day spot for Woolworths. Who wouldn’t love to share a meal with them even if it was over a Zoom call.
Even if you're not with Mum this mother's Day, you can still #cookwithmum and make it memorable. Woolworths has everything you need to make this Mother’s Day special.

You’ve got to check out this series of TV Commercials with our very own Daniel Jovanov and his ‘Human Car Sounds’. He has been picked up by motor oil brand G-Energy to do an amusing series of TV commercials which are shown in various parts of the world as you can see from the clips below. I think you’d agree that Daniel has done a great job and had an awful lot of fun with this one. What’s great about getting a global campaign like this is that MCTV negotiates a fee for each region that the commercial is played in and a repeat fee if the commercial gets renewed. Lucky for Daniel it’s already been renewed for Russia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Egypt Italy, China and the list goes on.
So great to see that the quirky kids comedy Hardball has been renewed for a second season and that the BBC has picked up the rights to show it on CBBC in the UK. There were 63 MCTV kids and adults in the first series and we hope season 2 is going to be even bigger and better.
Check out the behind the scenes footage of the new Shang-Chi set filmed by the Channel 7 chopper yesterday. We’re very happy that things are slowly returning to normal with Wakefield and Shang-Chi already resumed and more and more TV commercials filming around Sydney too. We are also submitting for the new movie based on Puff the Magic Dragon that will start filming soon. If you want to be involved as a background extra on these productions and many of the other shoots coming up around Sydney, it’s a great time to join.
It's not Asia and it's not Hollywood; it is Western Sydney, home to the newest addition of the Marvel movie franchise….

If you want a quick 2 minute overview of all the recent movies and TV series that MCTV has had talent in, the latest Screen NSW showreel is basically it. It proudly highlights the wide variety of great work that our screen production industry has developed in recent years. This is all part of the recent pitch to get more international films and TV Series produced in Sydney. Given that thousands of MCTV people are represented in these productions we are certainly keen supporters. For more information about the individual productions featured in the showreel you can checkout the Create NSW website.
We are proud to say that 113 MCTV people were involved with the production of I Am Woman which premieres on STAN tonight. I am woman follows a struggle that would be familiar to any single mother living in the sixties and seventies or today. The fact that her iconic song “I Am Woman” becomes the anthem for the second wave feminist movement seems a fitting reward for the struggle. The film has been well received by critics as it toured the festivals last year and it’s great to see it get a release here in Australia.
A new anthology film by eight writers from Western Sydney is about to start filming soon after receiving production funding from Screen Australia. One of the writers is an actor Arka Das who will be appearing in the live action remake of Mulan. You can see more information about him on FilmInk.
The release of Babyteeth was postponed along with everything else and is about to hit our cinema screens from tomorrow. MCTV only had a handful of people involved with Babyteeth but we are proud to be involved with such an interesting, brave and touching story. Looking forward to seeing this one myself. You can checkout the trailer below or grab a ticket to see it now.
