The Handmaid’s Tale Emmy-nominated director Kate Dennis on how carving out a career in Australia gave her an edge in the States.

Cineflix Rights handles international sales on the Australian drama Secrets & Lies, which was made by Hoodlum for Network Ten. Chris Bonney discusses the show and the sales scene generally.

Sixteen relatively recent Australian television dramas have earned more than $1 million each in gross revenue and nearly $43 million as a group, mostly from abroad.

Secrets & Lies doesn’t have the recognition factor of many others in the list of Screen Australia dramas that have sold well but it has spawned two seasons of a US version, is near the top of the list because of its international popularity and was a game changer for Hoodlum because of how many doors it has opened and is still opening.
