Screen Australia and ABC announced five successful projects for the Long Story Short initiative. Each project will receive funding to create and produce a short-form, digital-first scripted series for audiences aged 18-35 to screen on ABC iview. The five successful creative teams were chosen from more than 250 applications. With a mix of comedy and drama series, and the diverse backgrounds of the creative teams, Long Story Short promises to deliver five exciting and unique shows.
From a begrudging return to a dysfunctional family in Adelaide, to navigating the modern dating world while also pleasing your traditional Afghani mother, to a family calisthenics empire torn apart by oddball secrets, the successful projects for Long Story Short are The Edge of the Bush, F*cking Adelaide, Mustafa Needs a Wife, Other People’s Problems and Maybe Today.
