A new investment of $1.2M from the NSW Government into 19 new film, TV and online productions is expected to generate $32.2M of film expenditure in NSW and up to 2,300 jobs. Of course that’s good news for MCTV talent with many more small and large productions expected to film in and around Sydney.

Feature film Dance Academy The Comeback will be filmed in Sydney with a second film The Living Universe filmed in Parkes. The documentary The Shadowland will be made in northern NSW, Gosford and Newcastle, and another documentary Missing will be substantially filmed in Western Sydney.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is interesting to see how many productions have been filming in Bankstown lately (see the source below).

MCTV talent have been working most recently on the new series of Janet King, but were also featured in Mad Max and the new Peter Brock telemovie.

The truth is, there’s a Film and TV production boom across the whole of Sydney and Bankstown might be getting a little more than their fair share.

Getting Paid to Watch TV

/in , , /by

Several times each year we receive requests for live studio audience members for brand new television series. It doesn’t take any particular skill, just availability. It can be great fun but usually you are prevented from telling people about the show before it goes to air. It really is that simple to get paid while watching TV. Just last week we sent a ton of people to be paid audience members for a new ABC production.

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.
