SLATE
Anakie Street’s current slate showcases a diverse range of original projects across film, television, and digital platforms — all unified by a bold commitment to character-driven storytelling and creative excellence.
Our projects include the international crime drama Dead Man’s Friend, selected for Largo.ai’s Innovation Lab at MIPCOM Cannes 2025; the grounded, emotionally charged dramedy When All of This Is Over, with Erik Thomson attached as Executive Producer; and the Screen Australia and Screen Queensland–supported digital comedy Not Russian Anywhere, winner of Best Comedy at the 2025 Australian Women’s Film Festival.
Each project reflects Anakie Street’s passion for collaboration, authenticity, and stories that resonate — both in Australia and around the world.
