Nearly 20 years ago, 23 year old me, got an opportunity to produce Canberra's first digital web series, VigilanTV!
Youtube was only 2 years old at the time. The Prime Television Network - now known as Prime7 these days - decided to attempt to be one of Australia's, possible, the world's first digital broadcaster, with their innovative iPrime platform. A website that broadcast free to air television and other associated entertainment content.
They were ahead of the game in some ways considering the streaming giants we have today, but yet iPrime became quite a failed venture.
As the same time, Canberra's live music scene was a vibrant, energetic, loud, eclectic, bold and proud collection of talented musicians and live music lovers, spread across various inner Canberra city venues like The Phoenix Bar, ANU Bar, Bar 32, Toast Bar, The Front Gallery and Trinity Bar to just name a few.
Somewhere in the middle of all that, four Uni of Canberra Media Production graduates, Asher Floyd, Ash Bryant, Nick Delatovic and myself, got this amazing opportunity to Write, Produce, Direct and Edit, a digital series for iPrime that stepped right into that music scene.
Earlier in 2007, I premiered my Feature Film debut 'A Touch of Courage' at Dendy Cinemas.
By the end of the year, we had produced 15 episodes that was 'broadcast' on iPrime between September 2007 and January 2008.
And now after nearly 20 years, I've managed to locate 11 of those episodes, plus an unaired music video and have finally have made them available to watch via my Youtube Channel below!
