The Pound director Michael Shanks shoots three-part SBS series ‘The Wizards Of Aus’
The trailer for The Wizards Of Aus, a three part SBS series from Pound director Michael Shanks has just been launched online.
In the series Jack the Wizard decides to migrate to the sanest place he can think of: Melbourne’s Western suburbs.
After accidentally causing a magical catastrophe, his existence (and that of his fellow magical immigrants) is revealed to the Australian public. Fearing a backlash against himself and his kind, Jack swears off using magic in a bid to better assimilate into human life.
But of course, fitting in was never going to be easy when people tend to get a bit ‘explode-y’ whenever you sneeze…
Originally made as a Screen Australia funded web series, it was turning out so well that SBS just had to have it.
The series will be having it’s World Premiere on SBS 2 (Australia) over three nights from Tuesday 19th of January 2016 at 8:30pm AEDT. The entire series will also be available via SBS On Demand immediately following its premiere night.

It should also be noted, that this project had nothing to do with The Pound and was actually produced by this production company: https://latenitefilms.com/portfolio/the-wizards-of-aus/
