'One Plus One', ABC News 24: Mia Freedman interviewed by Jane Hutcheon

On this week’s 'One Plus One' on ABC News 24, Jane Hutcheon speaks to digital publisher and journalist Mia Freedman in a program recorded in front of an audience. Here is a photo from the show's recording:

Many know Mia has had a career in glossy magazines, becoming the editor of Cosmopolitan Australia at the age of 24.

When Mia left the magazine world, she had a brief stint as a television executive at Channel Nine  with the talk show 'The Catch Up', before going on to establish her news and entertainment website mamamia.com.au in 2007. She really was a trailblazer at that time.

On ABC News 24, Mia discusses the growth of her readers (between 2 - 4 million users every month) over three websites - mamamia, iVillage, and soon, the about to be launched health and beauty site called The Glow.

“Women are so engaged online as opposed to men, who just lurk," tells Mia. "So they (men) will be on Facebook but they won’t say anything. The only time they will ever share anything is if it’s a funny video or it’s something a bit rude, whereas women are liking and sharing and posting and being supportive and linking to things and signing petitions and getting in there. That’s why they’re such a wonderful engaging audience to work with as a publisher and also as an advertiser.”

In light of the social media storms weathered by Mia, she candidly admits to Jane:

“When you write opinion, you put yourself out there. I’m often told I’m polarising. When you’re a feminist, there will always be people telling you are doing feminism wrong.”

One Plus One airs this Friday at 8.30pm on ABC News 24.

Bondi Hipsters: 'Soul Mates' TV series on ABC2

Shooting has started in Sydney on 'Soul Mates', the highly anticipated 6 x 30 minute comedy series by the Bondi Hipsters.

Commissioned by ABC2, 'Soul Mates' is the brainchild of brothers Christiaan and Connor Van Vuuren and Nick Boshier, whose previous projects – together and separately – include such huge online successes as Bondi Hipsters, Beached Az and The Fully Sick Rapper.

This new-to-TV bromance follows the story of a couple of buddies continually drawn together across the course of human history, and into the future. The beginning of time finds the two mates experiencing all of life’s firsts as a couple of cavemen. In 1981 they’re killing it – literally - as two Kiwi Assassins, sent to Australia to avenge the credit theft of one too many New Zealand inventions. By 2013 they’re everyone’s favourite pair of fashion-obsessed Bondi Hipsters. While in the future they’re tackling time travel conundrums, working nine to five in a travel agency called ‘Travel Time’.

Here is a just-released shot of the duo from the new series:

Bondi Hipster Adrian Archer is excited to be starring in his own series: "Frahnkly, I'm stoked to be working with the ABC on 'Soul Mates'. After this latest budget, the ABC is becoming more and more underground."

Bondi Hipster Dom Nader is equally thrilled to appear in the time-travel themed show:

"Only dickheads would watch that... Seriously, who gives a shit about past lives anyway? People like to think they were something cool like a Cleopatra or a Viking or some shit, but the truth is, if you're just some dickhead now, you were probably always just some dickhead."

“The ABC deeply regrets ruining the Bondi Hipsters’ cred by putting them on primetime television, and respects their choice to only watch the show on a Super 8 Projector in a warehouse in Chippendale,” said ABC TV’s Head of Comedy, Rick Kalowski.

'Soul Mates' will screen on ABC2 later in 2014.

Starring Christiaan Van Vuuren & Nick Boshier. Created and written by Connor Van Vuuren, Christiaan Van Vuuren and Nick Boshier. Directed by Van Vuuren Bros. Series produced by Chloe Rickard.

Executive Producers for ABC TV are Rick Kalowski and Greg Waters. A Van Vuuren Bros / Ludo Production in association with ABC TV.

Happy Leonforte - Pharrell Williams: VIDEO

Leonforte, in the province of Enna, in Sicily hold a very, very special place in my heart.

It is where beloved father grew up, it is where my mother moved to (from Catania) after World War II broke out (and stayed) and later, where they met and fell in love and married (before moving to Sydney, Australia).

My cousin, who lives in Sicily, just posted this video, and I kinda flipped. In a good way. 

Set against the backdrop of the infectious Pharrell Williams song 'Happy', it features a panoramic opening shot of Leonforte (yes, I know… the countryside looks like a scene from 'The Godfather'), it shows the '24 Cannoli' famous water fountain, and it shows the beautiful Sicilian people, who are as real as they come in Italy. I always say the lower you go down Italy's 'boot', the lovelier the people get, and the more delicious the food becomes.

Here's the vid:



The YouTube description says:

Happy Leonforte cerca di porre l'attenzione su tutto ciò che oggi siamo riusciti a creare, dal lavoro a ogni forma di aggregazione. Happy Leonforte vuole dare risalto agli angoli nascosti che ciascuno di noi guarda ma non vede; agli angoli che qualcuno non ha mai visto. 

Circa un migliaio di persone coinvolte, grazie anche alle tante realtà associative (ci dispiace per quelli che non appariranno per problemi di tempo e tempistica); 20 giorni di riprese volte a valorizzare ogni angolo di un paese che nasconde la propria identità; circa 5 minuti per concentrare, incastrare, 150 riprese diverse.

Da un work group a cura di Alberto Maria, Sandro Rossino, Giuseppe Guagliardo, Paolo Cremona, Sergio Rossino, Matteo Sturnio, Tano Purrazzo...un sentito grazie a tutti i leonfortesi che amano Leonforte e la rendono "HAPPY".

The famed water fountain is here below. Leonforte is a must-see part of Sicily, Italy:

Interesting.

Thoughts on this video?

How do you think YOU would react if you saw a woman attacking a man in public?

'Carlotta' - ABC1: Screen date + PHOTOS

The much-talked about Australian production of 'Carlotta' on ABC1 is set to screen on Thursday June 19 at 8.30pm.



Carlotta might be the most famous of Balmain boys - who then became the most famous of Sydney showgirls, and Australia’s most famous transsexual performer. Carlotta was the legend of 'Les Girls', the Kings Cross show which she starred in and ruled for three decades.

Not many know the story of Carlotta, and this dramatisation of her life (played by the immensely talented Jessica Marais) tells of her incredible life: starting life as Richard, and later fleeing an abusive stepfather as a 16 year old; the sexually confused young man arrived in 'the Cross' in 1959 and the nation and became close to a group of like-minded friends, testing the boundaries of gender and sexuality, with a view to remake himself.

Through cross-dressing and performing, Richard experimented with becoming a woman, and despite persecution and exploitation, found the courage to live as Carol Lee. Later, when illegal hormone treatment showed results, “Carlotta” was born.

In the 1980s, Carol met and fell in love with a “great Aussie bloke” - and this changed everything. The infamous “Carlotta” was pushed aside and it was Carol who fell in love, married, and gave up her still burgeoning career for a life in the 'burbs.

She loved her new life as a homemaker and doting wife, but was surrounded by reminders of the children she ached for but could never have.

Carol/Carlotta was stranded between two worlds, belonging in neither.

Her new life tested all she believed in, and hers is the story of an exceptional woman’s desire to be ordinary.

The one-night-only program also stars: Alex Dimitriades, Anita Heigh, Eamon Farren, Caroline O'Connor, Ryan Johnson, Socratis Otto, Andrew Lees, Damian De Montemas, Genevieve Lemon, Gigi Edgley, Paul Capsis and Kai Lewins.

On a personal note, I recall meeting Carlotta when I worked at Balmain Tigers Football Club. I was in charge of organising a big event for staff, management, members, players - a fundraiser. I needed a 'kick arse' MC, someone who would run the show and command the audience. Having worked at an avant garde magazine, I always loved thinking outside the square… and I thought Carlotta would be perfect. And, she was Balmain 'royalty'.

I got in touch with her mum, who would regularly visit the club downstairs. She gave me Carlotta's home number and I called, nervously. Carlotta was legendary, and I was anxious to impress, as well as sell the whole idea to her. She loved it, and when we met for the first time I was truly awe-struck - she was larger than life and as glamorous as I'd imagined, with a fantastic presence. And she owned that event. It was something I'll never forgot; I recall walking with her from the office to the event and having her tower over me. It was memorable and incredible. She is Kings Cross and Sydney, and it's fab to see her life immortalised on screen.

'Carlotta' will screen on Thursday June 19 at 8.30pm, on ABC1.
