Cohabitation

Synopsis:
Fred and Gina are flatmates looking for love. Kate and Simon have found love, but are flatmates. Matt's greatest love is himself. Set in Bondi, Australia, Cohabitation is the tale of five vulnerable hearts, two very different households and one overcrowded cafe. Inspired by Lamarck's giraffes, neural Buddhists and Flight of the Conchords, it's a back from the beachfront look at survival of the fittest, the power of music and falling in love.

Rumour, The

Synopsis:
Balmain. Tonight. A disillusioned left wing journalist has uncovered a scandalous rumour about the Leader of the Federal Opposition, that if true, will finish him and give the Left a shot at the Labor leadership and the next election. . .as long as he can confirm the facts and file a story by 10. Set in real time, The Rumour is the story of a frustrated true believer, an uber right wing political consultant, a doctor, a girlfriend and a Harry Kewell worshipping football fanatic. Inspired by Machiavelli, Marx and Orwell, it's the local tale of the global plight of the desperate Left against a dominant Right and the vacuum that's now in between.
