Eddie Perfect to shoot TV pilot

Eddie Perfect is to write and star in The Future is Expensive, the pilot for a half-hour comedy series for ABC-TV.

Matthew Saville is set to direct the pilot in Melbourne in the second week of November, produced by Goalpost Pictures’ Lauren Edwards, Rosemary Blight and Perfect.

The brief synopsis is: Unpacking what it means to be married with young kids in urban Australia.

Further casting is to be announced. Screen NSW put up development funding for the project last year. Perfect’s acting credits include Offspring and It’s a Date.

The aim is to go into production in 2016 if the ABC is happy with the pilot.
