Amberwood Animation from Canada and One Animation based in Singapore have formed a a co production to bring the Melbourne created project to the small screen. Mini Studios brought the project to Amberwood several years ago, but after having no luck in selling the show to a local broadcaster as an Australian Canadian co production the project unfortunately went offshore. Ironically, this scenario is the original business model conceived by Mini Studios to bring Australian ideas and concepts to the world and bypass the underfunded Australian Networks. This model has recently been replicated at MIPCOM 09 by a yet to be announced project.

Please Explain director Anna Broinowski has been chosen along with 11 other select Australian directors to take part in the Soderbergh Master Classes to be held in Sydney presented by the ADG and ANIMAL LOGIC in late November. Soderbergh is best known for his groundbreaking Sex Lies and Videotape as well as more commercial fare such as the Oceans 11 series.

Film Victoria has given funding to Mini Studios to push ahead with a new draft of the script to be written by the films director Anna Broinowski. The funds allow for scheduling and budget. Anna Broinowski will be meeting potential investors, local distributers and international sales agents at SPAA 09 in Sydney in November.
