Emerging and aspiring actors looking to launch into the next phase of their careers are being encouraged to apply for this year’s American Arts Film and Television Academy (Aafta) Carmen Duncan Scholarship.
Named after the late Australian actress and activist, the initiative offers a path to the US market for acting talent via targeted packages worth more than Usd$25,000.
They include online and in-person training on various aspects of the industry, as well as help with visas and immigration services.
Duncan blazed a trail for Australian actors in the US during the ’80s, portraying Iris Carrington Wheeler on the daytime soap opera Another World, a role for which she was honoured not only with nominations for the Soap Opera Awards but also an Emmy nomination.
She passed away in February 2019 at the age of 76 after a battle with gynaecological cancer.
This will be the third year the scholarship has been run,...

Tony Gardiner on the set of ‘Neighbours’, with social distancing measures in place.
While Covid-19 protocols have meant Neighbours director Tony Gardiner has had to ‘un-learn’ 25 years of on set habits, he believes everyone in the industry can and will adapt to such ways of working.
Further, he reports that the integrity of the serial drama’s storylines remain firmly intact.
Fremantle’s Neighbours restarted shooting in late April; the first TV drama in Australia to resume after Covid-19 shutdowns.
A return to set has meant the implementation of social distancing and health protocols including an on set nurse, no physical contact between actors, no make up for male actors or touch-ups for female actors, and no outside extras.
The Melbourne studio has been divided into quadrants with an operational hub, three distinct production teams and only three actors allowed to cross between the units. No more than 100 people per...

In a new cinema ad by agency M&C Saatchi, a man deliberately crashes his car just so he can get closer to a pair of underpants.
The tagline ‘Quality best appreciated up close’ is brought to life when a man smashes into another car so he can hug an air-bag covered with a pair of Miroslav briefs.
The campaign will run across print, radio and cinema, but not on TV.
A print campaign with a similar theme ran nationally in fashion magazines as double page spreads.
Andrew Scott, Miroslav head of marketing said: “The core benefit of the product is quality. We knew we had to do more than put a model in the underwear to communicate that.”
“While the benefit is a pragmatic one, we’ve tried not to take ourselves too seriously”.
