Meet Leila and Ziad

We’re back! We collaborated again with SBS to write, direct and produce 6 x educational live-action dramas, with a bit of comedy thrown in. This series helps newly arrived people to improve their English skills and further their understanding of Australia.

Check out all episodes of Meet Leila and Ziad on SBS Learn English!

 

It was super fun to write and produce this series with our talented cast and crew. Take a squiz at some bloopers from our enjoyable time on set in this 60 sec video below.
