Love Gossip Girl or Skins but can barely find the time to keep up with the series?
Why not watch a whole season in just over an hour. Cheese on Toast Productions is
proud to launch SYD2030, Australia’s hottest new web series that has just taken out
the “Best International Webseries” at the LA Film, TV and Webisode Festival.
In April SYD2030 competed in LA’s highly acclaimed LA Film, TV & Webisode
festival. This premier festival creates an international platform for TV pilots, Web
Content and Digital Features, to be viewed and potentially picked up by industry
greats. SYD2030 was 1 of 15 International webseries’ chosen to be screened at the
festival.
The last time an Australian won an International Webseries Festival was in 2009
with Nicholas Carlton & Sophie Tilson’s OzGirl. OzGirl went on to be distributed by
Fairfax, Tivo, Koldcast TV, iTunes and V Australia Airlines. SYD2030 hopes to follow
in OzGirl’s very successful footsteps after the win of their own. This is an incredible
opportunity to showcase young Sydney talent. SYD2030 includes an all local cast,
crew, designers, sponsors, locations and distributers. With 12 episodes,
approximately 5 minutes each, this is the perfect way to enjoy bite-sized pieces of
entertainment without indigestion.
Boasting an impressive cast, including AFI Award winner Sophie Luck, SYD2030
follows the lives of five law university students, struggling to balance their hectic
social lives with a demanding workload. While the textbooks are hefty and the
teachers strict, it’s the sexual escapades, drug overdoses, boozy scandals and naughty
secrets that keep the students of SYD2030 really on their toes.
Despite filming in Sydney’s wettest summer in history, not to mention the helicopter
rescues, corrupted disks, broken equipment and some 21 hour shoots, SYD2030 is an
impressive achievement for anyone, let alone a team of under 24’s. It’s time to rally
up the support and get people following what already promises to be a big year for
Sydney’s SYD2030. Check out all the action at www.syd2030.com.au
About Cheese on Toast Productions (COT): Named after their favourite university
snack at Uni, five talented university graduates created COT to make their mark on
the global media industry. They may be young, but they’ve got ambition and are
steadily gathering respect in the industry. Individually members of COT have created
short films for festivals like Tropfest and the British Independent Film Festival.
Collectively they’ve been commissioned to create a TVC for the Sydney based
company Baron’s Beer, which premiered at the sold out Bondi Short Film Festival in
2010.
