Perth’s first sitcom in production
Peter Rowsthorn has joined the cast of the first Perth-based sitcom, Henry & Aaron’s Seven Steps to Superstardom, currently in production in Western Australia.
“I loved the script and I feel very lucky to be involved. It’s great that something like this is being produced in Perth. I’m really looking forward to shooting with Henry and Aaron this week,” said
Rowsthorn.
Henry Inglis and Aaron Mccann won Movie Extra’s Webfest competition, with a $50,000 prize to produce the comedy series, set to be broadcast on YouTube and the Movie Extra channel in June.
The seven-part series will be shot over 18 days and stars Henry and Aaron as two podcasters as well as James Helm as their self-proclaimed producer, ‘Danny Danielson’, who is hell bent on turning the boys into international superstars. Each episode will see them follow his ridiculous advice on how to become famous. Rowsthorn will appear in the episode ‘Sleep Your Way to the Top’. The episodes will be directed by WA Young Filmmaker of the Year Award winners Antony Webb (Tinglewood), Zak Hilditch (The Actress) and Maziar Lahooti (Good Pretender).
