<p>In this episode, Denise Eriksen of Media Mentors Australia talks to two of Australia's top television directors&nbsp;<strong>Kate Dennis</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Offspring</em>,&nbsp;<em>The Handmaid's Tale</em>,&nbsp;<em>Run</em>) and Jonathan Brough (<em>Rosehaven</em>,&nbsp;<em>Sammy J &amp; Randy in Ricketts Lane</em>,&nbsp;<em>The Family Law</em>). The trio discuss new wave of drama/comedy hybrids including&nbsp;<em>Fleabag</em>,&nbsp;<em>Afterlife</em>, and&nbsp;<em>Sex Education</em>&nbsp;and how the dramedy is the home for raw, devastatingly human experience played for laughs. Kate and Jonathan offer insight into what they are looking for in a script, how they frame comedy and tragedy differently, the benefits of learning the language of each actor, and how to create a safe environment on set.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Produced by Rhi Mooney &amp; Fyona Smith. </p><p>Assistant Producers Wendy Gray and Alicia Emery.</p><p>Presented by: Nell Greenwood&nbsp;</p><p>Voice Over: Cam St Clair</p><p>Music: Extreme Music - Andrew James Christie, Billie Ray Fingers, Bruce Fingers, Jasha Alain Klebe</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
