I have got to admit that I didn’t expect much from Netflix’s new Australian rom-com Love is in the Air. The plot seemed way too basic, and the trailer was not particularly impressive either. It was an assignment that I quickly wanted to get done with. Well, I am not claiming that this film is a masterpiece or even something that I will remember six months from now, but saying that director Adrian Powers has actually proven my assumption quite wrong would be the right thing.
Getting rom-coms right is a tricky business. The biggest challenge is probably escaping the predictability of the basic template associated with the genre. Two people are meeting under strange circumstances, stuff is happening, they are falling in love, getting together, and everybody is going home happy by the end; this is what I am specifically referring to. So the question is, how do you spice things up?...

Three years into its local production effort in Australia and New Zealand, Netflix has greenlighted two new series, one feature film and one full-length documentary from Australia.
These are in addition to previously announced renewals of teen series “Heartbreak High” and “Surviving Summer” and the go-ahead for prestige book-to-series adaptation “Boy Swallows Universe” and kids animation “Eddie’s Lil Homies.”
Set in the Australian Outback, epic succession tale “Desert King” revolves around billionaire miners, traditional owners, cowboys and desert gangsters fighting over the world’s biggest cattle station the size of Wales. It’s a hot, dusty, sexy Outback Western with guns and helicopters.
It is directed by Greg McLean and created by Tim Lee and Ben Davies, with production by Paul Ranford. The series is a co-production between Easy Tiger and Ronde.

Ben Allan and Clara Chong.
While production shutdowns are causing mass unemployment among all sectors of the screen sector, some practitioners see an upside.
Main Course Films’ writer/director Clara Chong and producer/Dop Ben Allan are in post on Wabi-Sabi, a deeply personal feature doc on ageing and death centred on Clara’s mother, who suffered from multiple system atrophy (Msa), a rare neuro-degenerative disorder.
“Because Clara and I do the majority of our projects together, doing post production at home has meant we can do things like put the kids to bed and then go back to colour grading,” Allan tells If.
“Now in the time of the coronavirus, it means we can be social distancing while staying on schedule with post on the film and our other projects.”
