Tiny Oz New Series for ABC TV Premieres Tuesday 19 April
This three-part series, which celebrates both Australian history and craft, starts on ABC TV and ABC iview on Tuesday, April 19 at 8.30 p.m.
Jimmy Rees, a comedian, and JoAnne Bouzianis-Sellick, a miniature artist, reveal tiny Australia through the incredible crafters who obsess over the tiniest of details. Tiny Oz is a magnificent reconstruction of extraordinary occasions in Australia’s history in glorious miniature.
Jimmy Rees said, “In 2002 I won the year 9 ceramics prize. Amazing I know. Fast forward 20 years and I’m excited for audiences to watch Tiny Oz and discover how much work is involved in making something you’d easily step on!“
Local artisans from all over Australia have taken up the challenge of hand-crafting miniature tableaus that depict fascinating events that have all but faded from memory.
The once bustling pearling town of Broome, a hot air balloon launch that fascinated and scandalised the people of Adelaide, and the hundreds of exotic animals that were escorted through Sydney streets in 1916, en route to their brand-new home at Taronga Zoo, are among the historical events and places that will be recreated.
PRODUCTION CREDITS: A Northern Pictures production in association with the ABC. Series Producer and Director, Tosca Looby. Executive Producer, Karina Holden. ABC Executive Producer, Kalita Corrigan. ABC Factual Manager, Julie Hanna. Head of Factual and Culture, Jennifer Collins.
