When discussing of an idea when we first met a s group, Paul came up with a concept similar to the UK tv series “Skins” of an Anthology Series that could be watched in any order with the viewer still able to understand the concept or the story line no matter what. We eventually drew inspiration from shows such “Orange is the New Black” that utilised the anthology structure.
Moreover, one thing that Melbourne seems to be lacking is having a show that highlights the uniqueness and cultural characteristics of our city – a market that had not been tapped into yet.
In effect, we all decided that to create a TV series of this particular genre, we would have six or seven different characters from all across Melbourne that would details the various surroundings and environments, with the city being its own persona or if not character in the series.
I than came up with the idea of created a melodrama type series that portrayed 6 different characters from Melbourne who are unexpectedly connected by one mutual friend – a protagonist who is the link in the chain.
Therefore, we have six characters from different walks of life that embody a different part of Melbourne in their own unique way that all connected by a common theme – death.
