Behind The Scenes, Screen Careers Expo

Working Dog... It's the Vibe

They’ve created some of the most entertaining experiences on the big and small screen and yet it’s rare to hear straight from the (Working) Dog’s mouth. This year’s Longford Lyell award recipients: Working Dog, comprising Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, Jane Kennedy, Rob Sitch and Michael Hirsh, will be in conversation with Ed Kavalee (Have You Been Paying Attention)


The wide-ranging discussion will cover where it all began, how they have remained friends, and how they have managed to turn a passion for comedy into a thriving creative production entity. Their range of projects speak for themselves: The Castle, The Dish, Russell Coight’s All Aussie Adventures, Frontline, The Hollowmen, Utopia, Thank God You’re Here, The Cheap Seats and Have You Been Paying Attention?
