I edited 13 episodes of this new 25 part series for SBSi.

John Marx and Venus Hoy find themselves in a living situation that is new to both of them. New to Marx because he was used to living with his girlfriend Kelly, who recently left him for another man with a flashier lifestyle. New to Venus because she’s never lived with just one man before. House mate or otherwise.

The Art Life, a three-part series Melanie edited is currently on air - Tuesdays, 10pm on the ABC.

Andrew Frost hosts the show, “I wanted to give the public a sense of what was going on in Australian art in the context of the ideas that inspire that art,” Frost says. “My view is that people are interested in contemporary art. There’s always that curiosity value because people will see stuff in the media and think, ‘What’s that about?’ “

Four friends with one serious problem…

“a love story unlike any other we have seen on screen” File Thirteen.
