Red Arrow Studios Int’l to shop Aussie wartime drama While the Men are Away

Michela de Rossi

German distributor Red Arrow Studios International has picked up the global sales rights to Second World War drama series While the Men Are Away (8×30′), commissioned by Australian pubcaster SBS.

Made by Aussie prodco Arcadia with financial investment from Screen Australia and Screen NSW, it will premiere on SBS this year. Described as a revisionist wartime dramedy set in rural Australia, it stars Michela de Rossi (Many Saints of Newark) as an Italian immigrant struggling to run her husband’s farm after he enlists in the armed forces.

Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, VP of scripted acquisitions and coproductions at Red Arrow Studios International, said the series “offers fresh and distinctive perspectives that we’re convinced will resonate with international audiences.”
