Ahead of Melbourne WebFest 2014 we are profiling all the series in the Official Selection as well as the “Second Look” series. 

Malice concerns the Turner family’s supernatural adventures in their late Grandma’s home. It’s up to teens Alice and Abbey to solve mysteries and survive dangers emanating from the old house. And when people start disappearing, Alice, the sixteen year-old with an active imagination, must go down the “rabbit hole” and confront a shocking revelation.

The series was inspired by Cook’s life with his two young daughters and living in a mysterious and enchanting house. It’s a fun and compelling romp.

Why should people watch your series?
Malice is a tightly scripted and carefully crafted show for viewers who love a sense of melancholy mystery and macabre adventure.

What do you want people to take away from your series?
That even the smallest and least prepared person can endure, survive and conquer great obstacles.

How do you finance your series?
Crowd funding and personal investment.

What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome in production?
Scheduling actors.

How do you reach your audience?
Social media, word of mouth, reviews, blogs, web festivals.

Is it an ongoing project? If so, can you give us some clues about what comes next?
Yes. We have just completed season three and are currently shooting season four.

Trivia: please tell us a quirky and/or interesting fact about yourself or team that’s unrelated to your web series.
When people visit the house of Malice they’re always surprised that there isn’t really a cemetery in the backyard.

Why make a web series?
Web Series are a new frontier that has the potential of reaching a global audience without the usual gatekeepers obstructing the way.
