Fishin’ for Love RMITV · a live multi-camera studio show
I directed eight episodes and a technical rehearsal of a live multi-camera studio show, helped write it and build its games, then came back to mentor its leadership team.
The show
Fishin’ for Love is a live multi-camera studio show made at RMITV, the student-run television station at RMIT. It is made with a volunteer crew, which makes direction as much about people and planning as it is about shots.

Eight episodes from the director’s chair, then a season guiding the people who run the show. Somewhere in between, I made sure the crew ate well and had a reason to come back next week.
