Over the past month a new telemovie about Peter brock has been filming and MCTV talent have been playing their part. Everyone who is involved with this production is honoured to be paying tribute to such a legend.

As a child, Matthew Le Nevez not only avidly watched Peter Brock’s Bathurst races, one of the actors’ favourite toys was a miniature Brock car.

So when he was approached to take on the role of the motoring legend in Ten’s upcoming telemovie Brock, it was a no brainier for the former Offspring star.

MCTV Extras working on Here Come The Habibs

/in , /by

Here Come the Habib’s is coming soon. This month MCTV extras will be working on this new situation comedy about a family who moved first from Lebanon to Australia and then from Lakemba to Vaucluse. It’s by the same guys behind The Moodys so it should be a good laugh.

MCTV talent have worked on just about every TV series that is produced in Sydney. As you can imagine, there are a good variety of people required for these productions and yet there’s no experience required. We are always looking for people from a range of ethnic backgrounds, ages and a variety of looks to suit productions such as this.

It’s a second migration for the Habib family, first it was Lebanon to Australia, now Lakemba to Vaucluse. But not everyone is happy to see them, and soon the Habibs find themselves in conflict with their new next door neighbours.

We’ve got loads of people booked on a new Google Android commercial shooting tonight. Pretty impressive that Google is doing a local campaign given they already have so much international content. You can see their new campaign for the US market on YouTube below. Doesn’t look like there was much chance for extras and actors on this production, at least not many human ones.

Shooting for the new season of The Code has begun. One of the first scenes our talent has been involved with was shot at a local Jail. Shooting will continue for several months and we expect more extra roles to come.

Stretching from the spectacular red desert of Australia’s outback to the cool corridors of power in Canberra, THE CODE tells the story of two very different brothers who unearth information that those at the highest levels of political power will kill to keep secret.
