New BINGE original series Mix Tape saw its Australian premiere at an event in Sydney on Wednesday night at the Oxford Art Factory.
In attendance were series stars Teresa Palmer (The Clearing, The Fall Guy), Jim Sturgess (Across The Universe, Cloud Atlas), Ben Lawson (Bombshell, Designated Survivor), Julia Savage (The Clearing, Blaze), Jacqueline McKenzie (Force of Nature: The Dry 2, Savage River) and Chika Ikogwe (Heartbreak High, Land of the Bad).
Also in attendance were series producers Angie Fielder and Polly Staniford from Aquarius Films, along with series director Lucy Gaffy.
The show is adapted from Jane Sanderson’s novel about two Irish teens who fall in love, bonding over analogue mix tapes in the late 80s. Now middle-aged, the two reunite a world away in Sydney when social media brings them back together. The romance vibes are strong with this one, but it’s the soundtrack that will really put love in your heart.
