Writer/director Tin Pang joins the podcast to talks about drawing from his own life for his projects, takeaways from taking his series Sell-Out to market, key learnings from directors’ attachments on A Place to Call Home and Home and Away, breaking down what a 1st, 2nd and 3rd assistant director (or AD) does, and how his work in those roles – and others – has set him up to be the director he is today.
Tin’s short films The Pale Moonlight and Mother, Child screened at festivals across the globe, including MIFF, Flickerfest, St Kilda, World-Fest Houston, HollyShorts and Fantasia. He was selected to be a part of MIFF’s Accelerator Lab as well as the Equity Foundation’s Screen Diversity Showcase, which resulted in the short film, Radical Honesty. Tin has also worked as an assistant director on series including Last King Of The Cross, The Artful Dodger, Erotic Stories, He Had It Coming and upcoming features Street Fighter and Spaceballs 2.
There’s also a call-out in the episode for donations for the short film LITTLE LIME, the writing/directing debut of host Caris Bizzaca. Any support is much appreciated! https://artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2EMn00000Yya6fMAB/short-film-little-lime
