Stanley & Dean, written and directed by Hugh Sullivan and produced by Kate Croser, has signed distribution deals with two North American companies, Atom.com (a division of Comedy Central) and Ouat Media (based in Toronto, Canada).
Stanley & Dean, a darkly comic tale about inept brothers Stanley and Dean who set out on a road trip for revenge, was originally commissioned by the ABC, South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) and mobile phone content aggregators m.Net Corporation as part of the miniSeries initiative and was conceived and produced as 5 x 1 minute episodes for mobile phone distribution. Along with the three other projects produced through miniSeries, Stanley & Dean was one of the first examples of narrative content produced specifically for the mobile and wireless devices platform in Australia.
