‘Latecomers’ in competition at Series Mania

The SBS short-form series Latecomers is off to France as the only Australian project selected for this year’s Series Mania (to be screened in the Short Forms Competition).

The show follows Frank (Angus Thompson) and Sarah (Hannah Diviney) as they are thrust together after their able-bodied friends hook up at a bar. They form a reluctant bond over their shared disability and its impact on their romantic lives – or lack thereof.

The series is written and created by Emma Myers, Thompson and Nina Oyama, directed by Madeleine Gottlieb and Alistair Baldwin, and produced by Hannah Ngo and Liam Heyen.

Series Mania will run March 17 – 24 in Lille, France with the Series Mania Forum held March 21–23 and the Lille Dialogues March 23.
