1 1 form y separately published work icon High Life Glen Dolman , Luke Eve , ( dir. Luke Eve ) Australia : More Sauce Productions , 2017 11386891 2017 series - publisher film/TV horror

High Life – a companion to the acclaimed web-series, Low Life – is a comic drama about an unexpected teenage crisis; a bomb-blast in a safe, middle-class and discreetly dysfunctional family who are completely unprepared for their daughter’s emotional collapse. However, this is much worse than regular teenage behaviour...

What Genevieve Barrett is yet to discover is that she’s suffering her first manic episode of bipolar disorder. And for a sensitive and studious girl, her experience will be exhilarating before it becomes terrifying.

It also happens at the worst possible time – while she’s getting ready for her year twelve exams and hoping to get into the Sydney Conservatory of Music. And to make things worse, no one’s paying attention to her... except her sweetly awkward friend, Ben - a trombonist in her jazz ensemble - whom Gen thinks of as an asexual friend, but who clearly adores her.

No one else thinks to worry about Gen, because she’s the “good kid”; the sensible, moral, innocent and easily ignored friend, sister and daughter... until now.

'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is a tightly plotted murder thriller, a massive best seller that was a forerunner to Sherlock Holmes. As much a study of sophisticated 19th century Melbourne as it is of its captivating characters, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is a compelling telemovie with a surprise ending that no-one will guess.'

1 15 form y separately published work icon Hawke Glen Dolman , ( dir. Emma Freeman ) Melbourne Australia : The Film Company Network Ten , 2010 Z1606845 2010 single work film/TV

The story of Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke during one of the most difficult period of his political life, when his position as leader came under threat from Treasurer, Paul Keating. The narrative also explores the Hawke legend from his early days as a hard-drinking, womanising, but brilliant trade union president through his transformation into a polished, egalitarian, and visionary world leader and up to his second term in office. Having largely sacrificed his family for political ambition, Hawke must rely on his friendships and allegiances as he attempts to defeat his challenger and remain in power.

Kinloch , Meg Mappin , Jo Martino , Mark Poole , Chris Roache , Roger Simpson , Fiona Wood , Giula Sandler , Andy Muir , Meaghan Smith , ( dir. Pino Amenta et. al. )agent Australia : Beyond Simpson Le Mesurier , 2004 Z1844470 2004 series - publisher film/TV young adult science fiction

Silversun follows the journey of the titular spacecraft, two years into a ninety-year journey to a distant, Earth-like planet, intended for colonisation. The colonists are in cryogenic status, and the ship's crew is largely teenagers, who will take over the primary roles as the adult crew ages.

The program's focus was a combination of the coming-of-age/interpersonal relationship storylines typical of a teenage show and the type of ethical dilemmas common to science-fiction story-telling. Among the latter were such issues as whether or not a crew member's clone was human, and what effect long-distance interstellar travel would have on the human mind and emotions.

Season two of the program ended on a cliffhanger, and no plans have been made to revive the program.

Chris Langman et. al. )agent Australia : December Films , 2000 Z1856886 2000 series - publisher film/TV children's humour horror

A live-action puppet show, Li'l Horrors followed the misadventures of the students at a school run by Morbidda Bates, a retired horror-film actress. The students included examples of key monsters from horror films: vampires, Frankenstein's monster, gorgons, mummies, zombies, werewolves, and swamp creatures.

According to December Films' press release for the series:

Li'l Horrors is a children's puppet sitcom specifically produced for the 5-8 year old age group. This is an age group who are currently not well catered for. Much programming is made for pre-schoolers and for 9 year olds and above. Li'l Horrors is created for this in between age group. It does not talk down to its audience or aim over its head. It is, however, infused with enough wit and off-the-wall humour to engage an even wider audience. Aimed well at [its] target audience, it is modern, slick, sly, funny and irreverent.

The program also focuses strongly on difference, with each of the characters quite strongly physically different from one another, as well as widely different in behavious and characteristics.
