*** WINNER OF TWO WA SCREEN AWARDS 2016 ***
BEST ACTRESS - EMILY ROSE BRENNAN
PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD - THE LEGEND OF GAVIN TANNER
The Legend of Gavin Tanner charts the trials and tribulations of Gavin Tanner, (Matt Lovkis) a small-time criminal and boorish big-mouth who, in a desperate bid for love and admiration, relentlessly tries to prove he is indeed the biggest ‘legend’ in Balladeen. Due to a serious lack of genuine ability, Gavin’s belief in his legendary self-image is challenged by practically everyone in the community, and the dodgy schemes he concocts to maintain it are invariably exposed and brought crashing down. But Gavin has hope in his heart, and if he can just keep the love of his streetwise girlfriend Trish, (Emily Rose Brennan) and the adoration of his loyal and gullible apprentice Damo (Liam Graham), no matter how much he’s brought down, he’ll always come out on top!
Following the success of our 2010 viral video, How To Deal Weed and our 2014 web series, The Legend of Gavin Tanner, our half hour TV pilot entitled, The Legend of Gavin and the New Best Mate premiered on ABC1 in 2016.
