TISM: The White Albun (2004)
Video by Craig Melville (Documentary and Music) Director, Producer Australian band TISM ("This Is Serious Mum") are about to disband. With the aide of a telethon running on stage during their concert, their fans, unsuspecting callers and "special guests" attempt to raise $1,000,000 in order to keep the band together. Spanning three discs, The White Albun is at times a concert, an album, a documentary and a retrospective of an Australian band with a 20+ year history who rarely achieved fame or recognition - if only because they didn't want to.

The Late Report (1999)
Television (Comedy) Director This short-lived attempt to revive live comedy on Channel 7 was a combination of interviews, popular culture, trivia and topical current affairs with a light hearted bent. The program was equally hosted by all the those credited in the cast, although Richard Stubbs took a leading role. The program was initially the second half hour in an hour, and was preceded by a woefully bad 'The Big News'. Soon, however, 'The Big News' was axed and 'The Late Report' took over the entire hour.

John Safran: Media Tycoon (1998)
Television by Craig Melville (Documentary) Director, Editor, Cinematographer In this pilot which was never aired on Australian television, John Safran demonstrates the innovative talent he is capable of. The program is essentially a magazine-style presentation of social rebellion and challenge to Australian institutions. In what has become the most famous (and litigious) incident, Safran and A Current Affair 'victim' Shane Paxton rummage through Ray Martin's garbage, and are soon approached by an angry Martin and his wife. Classic television in a similar vain to the work of American Michael Moore, which was deemed too controversial by the ABC to screen and was also beyond the pail for the commercial networks Written by Benjamin Sharp <absharp@hotmail.com>
