Directing TV 'Dramedy' with Kate Dennis and Jonathan Brough
Episode description
In this episode, Denise Eriksen of Media Mentors Australia talks to two of Australia's top television directors Kate Dennis (Offspring, The Handmaid's Tale, Run) and Jonathan Brough (Rosehaven, Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane, The Family Law). The trio discuss new wave of drama/comedy hybrids including Fleabag, Afterlife, and Sex Education and how the dramedy is the home for raw, devastatingly human experience played for laughs.
