'Swift Street' Selected for Canneseries

SBS and Magpie Pictures’ crime drama, Swift Street, will have its world premiere at next month’s Canneseries in the short-form category.

Cameron’s clients Julie-Anne De Ruvo edited four episodes, with Briar Grace-Smith and Nicole Reddy both writing episodes alongside Sam Carroll and the series creator Tig Terera.

The 8 x 30-minute series stars Cliff Curtis as jaded old-school hustler Robert and Tanzyn Crawford as his 21-year-old daughter Elsie, who must team up with her dad to get him out of debt and save him from a merciless crime boss who wants her money urgently.

The series, which will premiere on SBS this year, was filmed in Melbourne with major production investment from Screen Australia with support from VicScreen.

Canneseries will be held from April 5 – 10.
