INTERVIEW: Me, Wok and Tony Interviewed about Bruce



Russell McGilton from RMIT interviews all three of us about Bruce (as well as asking me about Beef too!) in late 2017, uploaded earlier this year.  Thanks for the interest Russell!

NEWS: Three more wins for 'Bruce'!

Me, Wok and Tony, pre-awards... we're all smiling now!


Can you believe it?  The International Academy of Web Television had a little awards do, and we came away with three victories in all three of the categories we were nominated for:
Best Direction (Comedy), Best Writing (Comedy) and Best Comedy!  Woohoo!

Feast your eyes on the glory here!

NEWS: Wok and I interviewed by Melbourne Webfest about 'Bruce'


Myself and Warwick were asked a few questions about Bruce, our motivations, our inspirations, our attitudes to improvisation, and how it's really fucking hard to get any money.

NEWS: AND WE WON!


WE WON!
WE TOTALLY WON!
WE TOTALLY WON BEST DRAMA!

...which is kinda funny, because we always thought Bruce was a comedy.  But we're not fussed, really: it was a fucking dark comedy, and we're definitely happy that the story-telling and characters were strong enough to impress.  So huzzah to us!

NOTE: I couldn't be there at the awards ceremony, but I did photoshop myself into the picture of Tony and Wok accepting the award. And, in this new age of "alternative facts", that seems perfectly fine and dandy.

INTERVIEW: LV Book Design ask me about Writing


We talk about heart-warming rejections, the vortex of the research/writing cycle, the pain of editing, and the slippery moments of inspiration.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm a very normal person. It's just everyone else that's quirky and undecipherable and irrational and were told the rules of the game and when to start playing."

NEWS: "Bruce" featured on new webseries "Watch This"!



Much excitement and delight were experienced at discovering our little black comedy series Bruce being featured stark raving first on C J Johnson's and Jim Flanagan's new movie-based webseries "Watch This".  Woohoo!  Although Jim thinks our dialogue is both a) mostly improvised (it wasn't) and b) mostly shit (well, that's a matter of taste, innit), I think we won him over in the end.  And C J seems like a true fan.  Huzzah!  

Watch other people talk about Bruce here.

Or just bingewatch the whole series yourself here!

INTERVIEW: "Bruce" on the ABC!



Well, Bruce is going great guns!  Seems to be making some small sort of impact, which is nice: just this week I've done two phone interviews about it with various media folk, exciting!  This is the first one: Wok and I were invited into the Southbank ABC survival bunker to chat with the very encouraging CJ Johnson, talking about the long development of Bruce, the mottled history of Australian historical comedy, and the future of online entertainment.  The interview is available in its entirety as a podcast here:


Wok and I are about 25 minutes in.  Enjoy!

Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, Bruce is very very watchable online for free at:
