‘Kgb’.
The ABC has green lit comedy web series Kgb, from brothers Luke and Dan Riches – a project borne out of Screenwest’s Indigenous online initiative, Originate.
Set in Perth’s notorious Kgb, the series – described as a cross between Black Comedy and Hot Fuzz – follows two rookie detectives, tough guy Jack and gentle giant Nigel, as they deal with the chaos of their new jobs, no-nonsense boss, work rivals, drug dealers and culprits who consistently turn out to be family members. Despite battling their own insecurities at every turn, and the fact that Jack bullied Nigel in high school, these two might just turn out to be Kgb’s finest detectives.
The cast include Clarence Ryan, Bjorn Stewart, Genevieve Morris, Mark Coles Smith, Aaron McGrath, Jesse Phillips, Lynette Narkle and Amy Smith.
Originate is a Screenwest and ABC Indigenous narrative web series development and production initiative for emerging Wa Indigenous screen practitioners.

This collection of Indigenous ghost stories from Warwick Thornton is intriguing but less than the sum of its parts
Warwick Thornton's The Darkside was developed from a national callout for Indigenous ghost stories. Submitted by black and white Australians, Thornton narrowed down the more than 150 stories into 13 to make this film. The filmmakers recorded these stories, told firsthand, and the documentary combines three of these original audio recordings with monologues performed by 10 of Australia's leading performers.
The stories Thornton relays are varied: there is a woman who was attacked by a ghost in her bed; a white woman who, when meditating, saw a rainbow serpent and Aboriginal elders; a man who met a spirit through a firefly. There are people who see strangers, and those who see family members; stories of fear, stories of curiosity, and stories of protection.
Thornton lets these stories speak for themselves. They are powerfully...
