Hungry Beast is an upcoming show on the ABC (that’s Australia’s ABC, folks) that I’m looking forward to seeing for a number of reasons. 1) It’s being produced by Andrew Denton, 2) I know a bunch of people involved in the show – namely my friend and flatmate, Aaron Smith (who developed and shot the cool slow-mo-pro-mos) and 3) It’s an interesting premise.
From the PR department:
“The media is a hungry beast it devours everything and is never satisfied. Now, 19 newcomers to television recruited after a nationwide call for young talent – are being given the opportunity by the ABC to feed the beast. Each week, they will produce a half-hour of topical TV, as well as daily web content, bringing viewers news from outside the loop. This means they are being asked to find stories that arent part of the regular news cycle or to cover stories that are, from a fresh angle. They have been given one editorial instruction: tell us something we dont know. Beyond that they are being encouraged to use every skill they have humour, curiosity, passion, bullshit-detection and good old-fashioned snooping around – to bring us the world as they see it, re-mixed.”
