‘Swift Street’ and ‘The Sweet East’ with special guests Bernie Van Tiel and Nick Pinkerton

For this Out Takes, we took a look at two very different projects that highlighted our interest in independent cinemas and quality Aussie TV; ‘The Sweet East’, a wildly original US indie film that has been described as Alice in Wonderland in the upside down world featuring an incredible cast including Jacob Elordi and Ayo Edebiri, and ‘Swift Street’, a new local television series from SBS that shines a spotlight on diversity and representation through a fast paced action packed crime drama that also deals with young love and family friction in inner city Melbourne.

We were joined by special guests Bernie Van Tiel, who plays the very cool and very queer Aisha in ‘Swift Street’, and Nick Pinkerton, the US based screenwriter of ‘The Sweet East’ who was in Australia when we spoke for a series of special screenings and Q&A’s across the country.
