The Film Festival was judged in LA and has been in continuous operation since 1967.  This year there were over 1000 entries from 22 countries so it is a great achievement to get a top award in such a competitive competition and such a competitive category. 

Frost wrote a TV series pilot with Sarah Smith from Southern Star Entertainment and as a director/producer team Simon Frost and Sarah Leach produced the production last year.  

The Johnson’s is a character driven half hour black comedy drama series about four brothers doing it tough, wheeling and dealing their way through life in the outer Western suburbs of Sydney.
