There's a delirious level of dark comedy that thrives in the new short film DIY from director Tony Gardiner and writer Lachlan Marks. A woman, played with a disarming ease by Claire Lovering, is mourning the passing of her dog. As she drills into the wall to hang up a picture of her pup, she is surprised to find blood coming out of the hole. Heading to the other side of the wall, she finds the dead body - the first of the dilemmas she encounters. The next is Damon Herriman's organised crime cleaner. From here, DIY unfurls in a delirious level of bleak comedy that splashes the audience with acidity as we're invited to laugh along with the depths that Tony and Lachlan's characters fall into.I caught up with Tony and Lachlan ahead of DIYs screenings at both the St Kilda Film Festival on 8 June and the Sydney Film Festival on 14 June, where the film is a finalist in the Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films. In the following interview, Tony and Lachlan talk about their collaborative approach to horror-comedy filmmaking, while Tony talks about shifting from working on industry testing grounds like Neighbours and Home & Away onto projects like DIY. The two also talk about the political nature of filmmaking and how reflective and responsive the creative process can be.DIY is an absolute treat of a short film - the kind that blitzes by in a moment, leaving you with a giddy sensation at its close after having left you gasping for breath with its ability to draw laughs out of dark situations. This is the kind of film that thrives with an audience, and no doubt those who are in attendance at either St Kilda or Sydney will love the film.To find out more about the film, follow both Tony and Lachlan on Instagram.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Over the span of eleven minutes, the impressive short film Yeah the Boys sways and swerves through a boozy night with the lads in nondescript backyard Australia.

Todays episode is a BONUS mid week special to coincide with the launch of Mr Inbetween series 3. Which premieres on May 26th at 8:30 on Foxtel. The final series of one Australia's most original characters - Ray Shoesmith. He is a hit man but the twist really lies in the characters likability. I saw the characters first incarnation as a short film called The Magician at the St Kilda Film Festival in 2004. Which was nearly 20 years ago. The story resonated with Nash Edgerton who is one of Australia's best storytellers. Nash believed in this story from the ground floor and since then - we have seen a feature film and then this widely successful current FX series which is in its third - but sadly final series.The show is quite violent but the heart and soul in this story is like nothing you have ever seen before. I have Scott Ryan, writer, creator and star of the Mr Inbetween. We discuss the origins of Mr In-between, violence in cinema, why the show is coming to an end and he reveals if he is sad about the final chapter of this iconic character. I absolutely loved this chat and I hope you do too.

Are you a filmmaker but not sure how to start your career? Draft Zero was invited to moderate a panel as part of the 2015 St Kilda Film Festival. In our very first live episode, we are joined by TV Writer Mithila Gupta (Winners and Losers), Director Corrie Chen (Reg Makes Contact) and Producer/Executive Simon de Bruyn (Acquisitions Executive, XYZ Films and Producer) to talk about 'breaking in', how it has changed, the different approaches, opportunities and challenges. They share their tips on networking effectively, setting up an online presence, persevering through doubt and getting relevant experience. It's pretty out-of-format for us, but it's an informative and fun discussion. We continue the discussion into BACKMATTER where we focus on emerging writers approaching directors to get stuff made.

How can scene transitions do more than just move from one location to another? Stu and Chas look at one of the basic building blocks of a script: scene transitions. Transitions don't just move you from one scene to another in a slick way, they can help you compress time, enhance thematic connections, unify different story threads, orient (or disorient) your reader... and just make your script feel more like a movie. To help us see how scenes connect & collide in interesting ways, we take a close look at scripts of films with great transitions to see how much of the work was done by the writer (as opposed to the director or editor): SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD, HIGHLANDER, AMERICAN SPLENDOR and BOYHOOD. And then, in backmatter we take a self-reflective look at TIME MANAGEMENT (and naps). Oh, we are also holding a LIVE EPISODE of Draft Zero at the 2015 St Kilda Film Festival. May 25, 8pm.
