Presto commissions first interstitials

Presto has commissioned 10×3 minute interstitials about a pregnant couple starring Matilda Brown and Richard Davies.

Let’s Talk About, created by Matilda Brown will also guest star her father, actor Bryan Brown. It will also feature Lisa Hensley, Steve Le Marquand and Bruce Spence.

Each 3 minute episode will focus on an aspect of pregnancy, described as ‘entertaining, informative, cheeky and funny.’ Claire (Matilda Brown) and Ben (Richard Davies) have only recently started dating and now discover that Claire is pregnant. Their predicament means there are some conversations they just can’t avoid.

Presto TV’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, Shaun James, said, “We are really excited about Let’s Talk About as a Presto exclusive. The series has wide appeal and audiences will be able to easily identify with the many topics it will cover. It is also perfect content for our many customers who use Presto on their mobile or tablet devices and for when they only have short amount of time available to be entertained such as the morning or afternoon commute.”

Matilda Brown said: “Platforms like Presto are changing the industry for the better, allowing storytellers to produce content of all different lengths and genres. It’s a great opportunity for someone like myself who writes, directs and acts.

“I’m so excited to be coming along for the Presto ride and look forward to sharing Let’s Talk About with their subscribers. Hopefully they find it as fun and insightful as I did writing it.”

Presto has also acquired 20 episodes of Lessons From The Grave, featuring Bryan Brown as a father who dies after winning the lottery but remains as a ghost to teach his daughter some lessons in life.

Let’s Talk About will premiere in October.
