  • Ella Borg
    Ella Borg is a rising star in the Melbourne art scene. They touch all
    corners of our community through dynamic and refreshing work - often
    pulling on personal and sensory experience.
    
With a portfolio that constantly diversifying, Ella has championed using
    the tools at hand and creating something that is unique to themselves. Now,
    a highly sought after creator, they juggle their time between designing,
    photographing, merchandising, video editing, and public relations - just to
    name a few.
    Spinning many plates, Ella has found themselves collaborating with some of
    the most unique brands and artists across Australia, with the most recent
    collaboration being with POSMO (a sex toy concept store inspired by queer
    theory) to create a series of prints. Ella discusses how the ‘untitled’
    series was set to explore the link between gender indentity and sexual
    identity with neurodivergent individuals. 


    Across their instagram you’ll find plenty of process videos and imagery,
    Ella calls out that they draw a lot of inspiration from digital platforms
    used and always want to make the most of the tools on hand. This results in
    a unique and very internet inspired aesthetic - one they link back to find
    their identity through internet culture.

Ella dropped into the studio to
    chat about coming out via the internet, the superpowers of being a
    neurodivergent artist, and how to value yourself as an up and coming
    artist.

  • Madison Griffiths
    Madison Griffiths is a Melbourne creator who wears many hats - tattoo
    artist, journalist, podcast producer just to name a few.

With a career
    that is constantly changing and becoming more nuanced, Madison has quickly
    become one of the champion voices for important and taboo topics. After
    recently diving head first into the tattoo world she has released season
    two of ‘Tender’ on Broadwave podcast network, providing a raw and
    vulnerable look into life after an abusive relationship.
    Madison has been working as a freelance journalist for the past few years,
    partnering often with Vice Australia, covering a range of topics like the
    march for men, and red pilled women. 

Being adapt at handling challenging
    topics and throwing herself in the deep end, she has carved herself a space
    as a writer with a unique voice and thought provoking sentiment. 

Tender
    season one walked us through a confronting and vulnerable experience in
    which Madison escaped an abusive relationship, season two finds Mads in
    producer chair with co-producer of Tender, Beth Atkinson Quinton (@bethaq)
    who is also the host of @theglasshouse.rrras - as we follow the story of
    Roia Atmar and her experience.
    We were floored at the production quality the team behind Tender have
    delivered, more importantly though, floored at the genuine, at times scary,
    impactful story that the season shares with us. It left me with a feeling
    of responsibility of care for those around us and a greater understanding
    of the real horror that can happen in any home. 

We were lucky enough to
    spend an hour with her and listen to her exciting tattoo career, a few
    hilarious anecdotes of her time as a journalist, and a thorough walk
    through on Tender and domestic abuse.
    Tender is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify with a weekly release
    schedule. You can start your listening journey here. 


    You can keep up to date with Mads through Instagram.

  • Lockdown Blues
    This month we tackled the podcast a little differently. We’ve all been
    impacted by lockdown in a variety of ways - Adrian and Darcy catch up to
    talk about how they are experiencing the current lockdown, we both share
    personal ways we have been looking after our own mental health.
    We’re also joined by Zara, a registered psychologist, to ask some burning
    questions about the impact lockdown is having on our generations.
    Additionally, Zara shares a curated list of free support networks we can
    all access if you’ve had your mental health impacted in any way.
    Please look after yourself and check in with your friends and family - we
    all don’t need to go through this alone and will get through it.

  • Guy Tyzack
    Guy Tyzack is a Victorian short film & music video director. With a hard
    focus on character driven stories and an acute awareness of his
    inspirations and limitations, Guy has quickly become the go to man for
    music videos in Melbourne - with recent productions with the Murlocs,
    Hideous Sun Demons, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
    Guys fascination with character was developed early in his love for the
    Mighty Boosh, since then he has always loved the humour in outliers and odd
    things.
    After studying in VCA and creating several short films, Melbourne band
    Gonzo reached out for help in creating a music video - Guy quickly learnt
    that these odd character driven studies with loose plot structures leant
    perfectly to his interests. Since then Guy has been working with a
    collection of top shelf Melbourne band with plans to continue.
    Guy talks about learning to thrive in a stress induced environment and how
    to find magic within those limitations, calling back to a Lars von Trier
    film “The Five Obstructions” he viewed several years ago. It’s clear that
    Guy is an incredibly thoughtful and reflective creator, aware of his
    influences but able to critique bad habits he had previously adopted from
    them (re:storyboards are for cowards).
    It’s an exciting time for Guy as it feels like he is only starting to
    really flesh out this space in Melbourne - we can’t wait to follow along
    for the ride.
    Guy Tyzack’s work is available to view on Vimeo. 
    You can follow Guy through Instagram.

    Retail is the worst on holidays. Celebration Nation is a female led comedy
    brought to you by the creative minds of Jenny Zhou, Gaby Seow, and Molly
    Daniels - who each have written, produced, and starred in the production.
    Pulling on the relatable theme of retail, Celebration Nation sees our stars
    facing into the awful experience of shoppers over a holiday period.
    Our trio of rising Melbourne talent have created this 6 part web series
    through a partnership with Screen Australian and Google YouTube. We were
    lucky enough to catch them just before the launch of their show. Tune in to
    find out the challenges these three have faced in the Australian film & TV
    industry, the hurdles you must jump to green light a show, and the tedious
    impact COVID can have on a production.
    It’s easy to see why Screen Australia & YouTube have put their trust in
    them - each of them have the passion, charisma, and talent, needed to
    frontline Australia’s growing presence on the world stage.

  • Austen
    Austen is a Melbourne-based pop icon. Austen has a unique sound matched
    only by her curated unique style. Pulling on synth-pop, electronic, and
    indie influencers, Austen has quickly become a rising star in the Melbourne
    scene.
    Austen adopts a bold character through her performance, one that has a
    striking look and massive presence - this is a surprising juxtaposition
    against her self-described introvert self. This character allows her to
    face the media head-on, which as a self-managed artist, is quite a
    formidable task.
    We caught Austen at the perfect time to chat about her new single ‘North
    South East West’, a beautiful track with a powerful hook. She shared some
    valuable insight on how she managers herself and the many hats she needs to
    wear to do so. Make sure to check out both the track and the dream-like
    video before tuning into the episode.
    You can follow Austen Instagram and on Spotify.

    loving again after losing someone. Fenn is supported by George, Jack,
    Michael, and Fin, together they develop their tracks and have a wonderful
    stage presence.
