GWT summer: Acclaimed TV producer Tony Ayres on the filmmaking life - and an upcoming skills shortage

We'll be back in late January 2023 with plenty of exciting interviews booked in the calendar.

But for now enjoy one of our most popular episodes from the past year. And remember to subscribe and share.

Australia is rushing towards a filmmaking crisis due to the paucity of locally-produced shows on which up-and-coming writers, directors and other key creatives can develop their skills. So says acclaimed producer Tony Ayres, whose hit shows include Glitch, Stateless, The Slap, Barracuda, Seven Types of Ambiguity and Clickbait.

In this episode, Ayres discusses the skills shortage he expects to hit in about five years time, along with the high and low points of his own career and life, with senior culture writer Karl Quinn.
