The series follows a group of likeminded local misfits who attempt to fix the worldâ€™s problems, one small issue at a time. Inspired by real characters living in Newtown and set against a backdrop of real locations, the group solve real problems suggested by real members of community and on social media.

Synopsis: A group of unlikely citizens form a social vigilante group with the aim of fixing the world one small problem at a time.

Like: Misfits meets Portlandia

Using interviews captured with real local people we will create episodes that capture the passion and spirit of the Sydneyï¿½s inner west. The project recently received support and funding from Marrickville Council. In the rst instance with the material we will be celebrating the voices of the inner west and their passion for the social issues.

PROGRESS:

THE INTERVIEWS

The Newtown Fixers Club interviews are a series of 3min conversations with real people from the town of Newtown NSW and the Inner West of Sydney. The project aims to showcase passionate people from a number of different walks of life and aims to show their personal stories of how they become impacted by a range of social topic.

We see the inner west as a model for modern Australia with a wealth of diversity living very comfortably together and creating one hell of a inclusive colourful creative place in one of Sydney’s most densly populated suburbs.

Getty asked six Australian and New Zealand creative teams to make a short film using our footage and one of six themes. This is what they came up with:

I wrote, produced and directed the video for King Content as part of their entry. We knew we had to take a comedic approach. Our idea – “Danger, as you don’t know it” – was inspired by the statistical truth that you are more likely to be killed by the mundane and lame than the obvious and scary.

With a strong movie voiceover, we really went to town with Getty Images footage, animating key scenes including an unlikely vending machine accident and a cow with rage issues causing mayhem on the highway.
