University students’ web series win at LA screen festival

A Sydney based web-series has won best international web series at a screen festival in America.

The youth-orientated web drama SYD2030, by production company Cheese On Toast Productions, won Best International Web-series at the recent LA Film, TV and Webisode Festival. It was one of 15 films to be selected to screen.

The 12, five-minute series stars AFI Award winner Sophie Luck and a crew of university students.

In the vein of Beverly Hills 90210 or Gossip Girl, the series follows a circle of Sydney University law students trying to balance their workload with their social lives.

The young production company recently created a TVC for Sydney based beer company Baron’s Beer.
