AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Superwog series follows the often misunderstood, dysfunctional Superwog family as they struggle to navigate life in the Australian suburbs. Superwog is a girls and fast food-obsessed teenager enrolled in a prestigious private school. His misadventures with best friend Johnny often cause Superwog's primitive, highly-strung father extreme stress as he battles to keep his delusional, but fiercely loyal wife happy.'

The Web Series : Empowering Diversity on the Australian Screen Marilyn Leder , 2021 single work criticism

'The web is breaking down barriers for diverse narrative screen content creators in Australia, enabling them to bypass screen gatekeepers such as television commissioners and film funding bodies. Diverse web series creators can develop memorable characters and stories and build audiences that may lead to subsequent funding. Australian screen commissioners are risk adverse so when a creative team have a successful web series with a loyal audience, doors may open a little more readily for them. The web has allowed for more diverse narrative screen stories in Australia as female, multicultural, LGBTQIA+, indigenous, disabled and marginalized creators have been empowered to create low budget and successful web series. Further, Australian federal and state film funding bodies and several television networks have now recognized the need for diversity on Australian screens and have developed diversity statement requirements within their charters and initiatives that aim to support work from diverse writers, currently under-represented on screen. Using multicultural series, Superwog, along with popular female series’, The Katering ShowSkitboxStarting From Now and Homecoming Queens as examples, this article discusses how the web series provides a viable proof of concept for diverse creators, potentially leading to web or television series commissioning.'
