Tan is the creative director of development, working alongside producers Byrne and Flying Bark Productions’ Alexia Gates-Foale, as well as writers Sam Carroll and Lally Katz. The Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) has provided development investment for the creation of the concept and scripts for the 12 x 30-minute series, for which the creative team has produced a teaser. Tan’s book has been translated in 28 territories across the world and tells the story of clever “almost 13-year-old” Klara and her younger brother Pim, who begin experiencing weird and miraculous phenomena as they go about their everyday life in Australian suburbia, whether that be spotting a water buffalo hiding in the long grass in a vacant lot, or discovering a secret garden deep within the walls of their home.
The pair will develop the television adaptation of the award-winning title with Flying Bark Productions. These are the odd details of everyday life that grow and take on an incredible life of their own in tales and illustrations that Shaun Tan's many fans will love.Ĭustomers who bought this item also bought.Shaun Tan’s illustrated book Tales from Outer Suburbia is being developed into an animated series, with the author reuniting with The Lost Thing producer Sophie Byrne.
