Producing a TV drama series in a third world country can be a hazardous undertaking- particularly when Molotov cocktails are detonated in the city nearly every night.
That was one of the risks that Australian producer Mark Ruse faced when he spent the past year in the Bangladesh capital Dakar producing a 16-part series for the national broadcaster Btv.
Other occupational hazards included 100 days of strikes, violent street demonstrations, cars and buses being set on fire, and a cyclone. Despite all that Ruse tells If, .It was a lots of fun working around all these things to make a drama series..
He is partnered with Stephen Luby in Ruby Entertainment; their credits include Bed of Roses, Let Loose Live, The Murray Whelan telemovies and the movie The Extra.
Ruse was commissioned to create the series by the BBC, which produces TV projects in third world countries via its BBC Media Action program,...

MELBOURNE, Australia -- State government funding agency Film Victoria has announced the recipients of the latest round of the Commercial Script Development Scheme (CSDS), which over the past four years has subsidized 21 Victorian production companies to the tune of Aus$3.4 million ($2.6 million) in an effort to assist them in fast tracking their development slates. Eleven companies received the funding in this latest round, including kids TV specialist Johnathan M. Shiff Productions and feature and documentary film producer Big and Little Films, of which Walking on Water director Tony Ayres and Wildness producer Michael McMahon are the principals. To date, the CSDS has assisted in the development of 131 projects and employment for 89 writers, 46 script editors and 63 producers, according to Film Victoria. Projects aided by the program include the TV series Holly's Heroes and the feature films You And Your Stupid Mate and The Extra, both currently in production.
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Locally produced feature The Extra is set to become the first production to use Australia's newest studio facility at Melbourne's Docklands precinct when it opens for business this month. The complex, which is being operated by Central City Studio Holdings, has been developed with AUS$40 million ($31 million) of government money and plans to attract a mix of Australian and internationally financed screen productions. While no other productions have been confirmed for the studios, Central City chief operating officer Tim Barnett said that negotiations are in progress for one international feature and two local television productions.
