From the Top End to the Small Screen with Miranda Tapsell and Joshua Tyler

Screen Australia Podcast

Creators and writers of hit film Top End Wedding on celebrating audience love through IP and their learnings from switching formats for the new series Top End Bub.

Tapsell and Tyler share how they leveraged the IP from the big screen to television, the appeal of the comedy half-hour, the joy of collaboration, and how creators can embrace family, community and love to reflect the breadth and diversity of First Nations experiences on screen. For Tapsell, the longevity of the film and demand for the series lay in highlighting First Nations talent in front of, and behind, the camera: “The success of the film happened, and the way it's going to continue, is when we're working together, when you include us.”
