How Marx and Venus came to be…

March 4th, 2007

Marx and Venus is a series of short television situation dramas based around two characters developed by Geoffrey Atherden of Mother and Son and Grassroots fame. Marx and Venus character monologues were posted on the SBS website and a call for scripts was announced with a staggering response. Over 1700 writers from all over Australia - some well-known, others who had no previous screen writing experience brought to life the characters of Marx and Venus. Taylor Media enlisted screenwriter Ron Elliot (AFI and Logie nominated writer) in the role of script editor and in collaboration with SBS selected the final 25 scripts.
