Directors Attachment: Mat King
A CJZ / Channel 10 Production (now Channel 9)
2019
My Life Is Murder is an Australian-New Zealand murder mystery crime comedy-drama television series, broadcast on Network 10 and TVNZ 1. The ten part series premiered on 17 July 2019, at 8:40 pm.[3] In the United States, the series began streaming on Acorn TV on 5 August 2019 and in the United Kingdom, on Alibi on 24 September 2019.
One of the first major Directors Attachments undertaken, My Life Is Murder was a great opportunity to undertake, alongside the legendary Mat King (Pine Gap, Wentworth, Doctor Who, How To Stay Married).
This attachment allowed me the opportunity to get across the ins and outs, in particular, of location management, balancing creative with the challenge of tight schedules, achieving comedic and vibrant performances from talent, and crafting that further in the edit suite. There was also the opportunity to direct a series of BTS interviews, as shown above.
A few words from series producer Elisa Argenzio (FIRES, New Gold Mountain, Lambs Of God, Underbelly, Wolf Creek and more):
"Sarah is gifted with charm, intellect, wit and enormous talent. A 'can do' attitude which beguiles all who work with her. Sarah's abilities are endless from researching, pitches, directing 2nd unit and editing all with a keen sense of humour.
I worked with Sarah on Channel 10's 'My Life is Murder' and recently on ABC/NBCU's 'FIRES' and on both occasions was impressed with her abilities. I look forward to seeing Sarah directing more TV drama in the very near future."
