Traditional distribution pathways may have been upended by Covid-19, but in some ways, the pandemic has strengthened the landscape for social impact documentary.
That’s according to Leeanne Torpey, Jungle Entertainment’s communications and impact manager, who has led the impact campaign for the company’s doco Big Deal, about the influence of money on politics.
“Community connections are becoming more important. And if [a project] is addressing a real need in the community, then an audience is going to exist passionately whether or not it’s convenient to get to the cinema,” she tells If.
Big Deal, directed by Craig Reucassel and presented by Christiaan Van Vuuren, marks Jungle’s first social impact documentary. Aline Jacques produces, while executive producers include Jason Burrows, Jen Peedom, Bridget Callow-Wright, Malinda Wink, and Paul Wiegard.
The project follows Van Vuuren as he meets with a host of prominent parliamentary and media figures to understand...

By his own admission, Christiaan Van Vuuren is no political expert.
Despite this, the perspective of the Soul Mates and Bondi Hipsters comedian is central to Big Deal, a two-part ABC factual series examining Australia’s billion-dollar political lobbying industry.
As the presenter of Craig Reucassel’s directorial debut, Van Vuuren sits down with a host of prominent parliamentary and media figures, including Jason Falinski, Sam Dastyari, Scott Ryan, Kate McClymont, Andrew Leigh, Helen Haines, Jacqui Lambie, Katharine Murphy, Linda Burney, and Zali Steggall.
He told If the distance of departure from his previous work was not lost on him.
“It was pretty terrifying,” he said.
“There is an emotional safety when you have control of an edit and you’re in character and it’s comedic.
“This is scarier because you are a bit more out there. It was challenging in that I was talking to people who know...

In the series, Christiaan meets with a range of politicians, journalists, and experts, such as Malcolm Turnbull, Jason Falinski, Sam Dastyari, Scott Ryan, Kate McClymont, Dr Andrew Leigh, Helen Haines, Jacqui Lambie, Katharine Murphy, Linda Burney, and Zali Steggall, to ask, ‘Is Australia’s democracy for sale?’

A feature documentary tracing the journey of a celebrated Argentine activist has won the Australian Film Television and Radio School (Aftrs), Doc Society, the Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) and Screen Nsw’s inaugural New Perspectives Pitch Lab.
Jayson McNamara’s Norita was selected amidst a group of six projects for the pitch training initiative, which is designed to support non-fiction talent with a social impact project in development or production.
Set in Argentina, the documentary tracks the transformation of Nora Cortiñas, following the kidnapping of her son by Argentina’s dictatorship in 1977.
During her 40 year search for him, Nora goes from a conservative housewife to a trailblazing activist and celebrated icon, inspiring a new generation to fight for their democracy.
In announcing their decision, the judging panel said it was “highly impressed” with the Norita team’s powerful pitch.

Aftrs, Doc Society, Aidc and Screen Nsw have announced the social impact projects selected for the inaugural New Perspectives Pitch Lab.
The program consists of five coaching and development sessions and an online pitch event with mentors, including Malinda Wink, global director of Doc Society’s Good Pitch and Screen Nsw investment manager Andrea Ulbrick. The sessions begin this week.
The focus on the pitch training is to support participants to develop strategies and pathways for non-traditional access to audience and finance for projects that have potential for an impact campaign.
The initiative was open to projects from across the non-fiction landscape, and encouraged “projects that offered a rare insight into the under-represented and overlooked; stories from those who see more than what’s shown in the common zeitgeist; stories that break barriers and explore nuance over polarity.”

Craig Reucassel’s ‘War on Waste.’
Making The Chaser franchise was such a collegiate effort the crew on the ABC satirical show used to jokingly refer to Craig Reucassel as the back-seat director.
The performer, writer and War on Waste star will take the front seat for the first time on Democracy Project, a feature documentary and two-part ABC program co-funded by Screen Australia’s Producer Program.
Marking a return to the factual genre for Jungle Entertainment, the show will investigate how money has infiltrated Australia’s democratic system, including corporate and political donations and the role of lobbyists.
The project germinated at a Shark Island Institute Story Development and Impact Lab last year attended by Jungle CEO Jason Burrows, Jen Peedom, Reucassel and Christiaan Van Vuuren.

Jenji Kohan.
Jenji Kohan, the creator of Netflix’s most-watched original show, Orange is the New Black, will headline New Zealand’s Spada (Screen Production and Development Association of New Zealand) conference this year, which will also feature an international address from Lord David Puttnam.
Spada 2019 will be held at Auckland’s Aotea Centre across November 20-21 and will conclude to align with the 2019 Nz TV Awards.
Kohan is a coup for the Nz screen industry event which will focus strongly on the international development of local content and opportunities for global co-production.
“We’re thrilled to have such an exceptional line-up of international and domestic speakers at this year’s conference. Rather than narrow ourselves to one theme, we’ve developed sessions to drive conversation around key issues that affect us as an industry both now and in the future,” says Spada’s executive director Sandy Gildea tells If.
