Description

Firebite is one of the most visceral, gut-punching, and original shows of the year and also one of the funniest. It’s a raging blood-soaked tongue in cheek rampage through the South Australian Outback where the war between vampires and Indigenous “Blood-Hunters” has been raging since the vampires were introduced to Australia on the first fleet, in a cleverly undisguised spin on colonisation.

We hear about the creative process from Firebite creators Warwick Thornton and long-time collaborator Brendan Fletcher, then sit down with co-producer Dena Curtis, Executive Producer Rachel Gardner, and See-Saw’s Associate Producer Billy Bowring along with AMC Networks' Noel Manzano, to discuss the creative vision, the concept development, influences and craft, production on the Adelaide Plains, and the global appeal and hunger for Australian, and in particular Indigenous, genre film and tv.

Elements of this session have been pre-recorded.
