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!

HEAR (AND, IN TONY'S CASE, SEE) THE MAGIC FOR YOURSELVES RIGHT HERE!

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: 'Bruce' gets Best Screenplay!

Wok and I accepting Best Screenplay at the Melbourne WebFest, 

as well as two "Ruby Tickets" for the Marseille and Seoul WebFests!

'Bruce' has won another award, and this one really moved me lots.  We won Best Screenplay!  Woohoo! This one was super special for me, because the first thing people see with Bruce is the amazing cinematography and vision - it's hard to miss, really - but this award meant that the judges had somehow seen past the incredible visuals and into the many years of hard work that Wok and I put into the wordular arrangement that lies beneath the eyecandy.  We were nominated for five awards that night, but there was only one that I wanted to win - AND WE DID!

Just so stoked by this.  Very very awesome!

Go Bruce Team go!

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.

NEWS: More Accolades for Bruce!

Will ya look at all these laurels???  Woohoo!

We're totally stoked! Super exciting. 

Don't forget, the whole thing can be watched for free here:

Onwards!

NEWS: 'Bruce' is a Webby Award Honoree!

I know!  I had no idea there was such a word as 'honoree' either!   But there is!  There is!

And 'Bruce' got honoured - and check this out - IT'S FOR THE WRITING!

That's right: even though it's magnificently shot, amazingly costumed, incredibly cast, brilliantly make-upped, astoundingly acted, staggeringly directed, somehow the Webby folk managed to look past all that full-on epicness and honour us for THE WRITING!  Just mind-blowing.  So cool.  Yay!

Go see proof yourselves!

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."

INTERVIEW: Wok and I interviewed about Bruce by 2SER

Six minutes or so of Wok and I blabbing about Bruce on the 2SER breakfast show.  Slightly entertaining, relatively interesting, mildly informative, and a bit embarrasing (I kept talking over Wok, dammit - but, in my defense, I was several hundred kilometres away at the time).

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!

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!
