No Limits up for SEVEN national television awards
Ballarat-based national multimedia and eLearning company, yum productions are thrilled to be heading to the 2009 Antenna Awards with seven nominations for the television program No Limits as series producer with Grit Media executive producer.
yum was contracted by Grit Media to executive direct the organisation and also to produce the last two seasons of No Limits and has taken the show from a training ground for people with disabilities to being a high quality show, with fabulous stories. ‘Our idea for the show was to build quality production values, build each episode with three or four really strong story lines to challenge and entertain at the same time. We wanted to be controversial and not shy away from difficult issues.’ Erin said.
