New Release : Chronicles X

By industry news

February kicks off with a premiere screening of our new series Chronicles X produced and directed by Stelios Kokotos of Mystical Guides Studios.

Developed originally as a podcast, Stelios decided not to limit his idea and seized an opportunity to expand the format into cross platform content giving this series a new modern twist.

The spine of the show centers around the podcast and includes interviews with special guests combined with on location adventures, as we follow our young hosts Elly and Jason as they explore and uncover the mysteries of Australia’s past by investigating iconic locations, revealing veiled relics that often go unnoticed, that, may offer doorways to a greater realm.

With infectious enthusiasm, Elly and Jason, lead Chronicles X down a historical and mysterious path to deliver a unique genre jumping series. This is definitely not your average mystery show!

Screening of episode 1, Castlemaine Gaol, is this Friday 7th February, in Melbourne. Meadow Media has free tickets available, so, if you’d like to attend reach out to us for further details.

Looking forward, we move into January with renewed enthusiasm and new goals for 2020. This month we reset, and focus on new projects, scope for opportunities and foster partnerships – new and existing.

Hello 2019

By news

It’s common at this time of year, to reflect on what’s been. The highs and lows of the year past and the changes you want to see, to action, to make HAPPEN in the year ahead.

As all those in the TV game know, it can be exhausting keeping up with the ever-changing industry. The evolution of new technologies facilitates growth rapidly, providing scope for new platforms, formats, development opportunities and funding structures, almost daily. And the list goes on…

Meadow has had a year of change. Pivots in direction, the forming of new partnerships and saying good-bye to others. We ALWAYS seek to work with like-minded people, teams and incredible talent and we always will.

Since our inception in 2014, our goal was to forge our own way, to offer a service that filled the gaps. One founded on authenticity, passion, transparency. A home that could foster a supportive environment, to collaborate with those creative minds that fit with our ethos and mission.

We wanted to be open, to freely share ideas and information, which, is all to often keep under lock and key…hardly providing a supportive playground for those young producers or talent wanting to learn, eager to charge ahead. Those that are the future of content creation, and brains behind how it will be consumed.

After all, what purpose does it serve to close ranks, to keep hidden what you’ve learnt, to not nurture? It seemed to us, that the old way…those that were scared of change, those decision makers that wouldn’t take the time to respond, were the ones holding us all back.

So here we are looking forward to a new year, one, which we suspect will bring in more change and for which we hope, will open many new doors and opportunities.

This is our official call out for new partnerships, great content and exciting development proposals. We look forward to continuing our existing relationships with our talented pool of producers and valued clients, both in Australia and internationally.

It’s with much gratitude and excitement that we move into 2019, with plans for our best year yet. New beginnings, fresh ideas and a wealth of amazing collaborations!

From us to you,

Lisa & Marilyn
