Another 9 projects have just received national funding from Screen Australia, including the second season of 1 For All, a straight-to-YouTube D&D comedy series about a group of friends and their tabletop escapades.
The first season of 1 For All was created by Deerstalker Pictures. and gained over 9 million views on YouTube over 8 episodes. Each episode is around four to six minutes long, and covering the in-character shenanigans of a roleplaying group and the group’s deliberations over the D&D table.
Episodes revolve around the beats many D&D players will be familiar with: Meeting in a tavern, someone going on a murder spree, that person in the party who inevitably tries to hook up with someone wanting to kill the whole party, and the frustrations when a party goes item shopping.
Three other online projects were backed by Screen Australia in the latest funding round, including a 15-part series for Instagram TV and a five-part series from former Home & Away star Tai Hara about a “white but woke” casting specialist. According to the release, the latest round of funding will cover the production of 6 episodes for 1 For All‘s next season.
