Lost in Pronunciation

2017 NR 7.6

Lost in Pronunciation follows the arrival in Australia of a Venezuelan comedian, Ivan, whose heart is set on breaking into the local comedy scene.

This is a series of six 6-8 minute shorts co-written by and starring Venezuelan stand-up comedian Ivan Aristeguieta. As Ivan discovers what it means to be a real 'Aussie', his quest to becoming a permanent resident isn't so much about ticking a box on a form, but learning about the strange and unique customs that we take for granted, and that make Australians what they are. With the help of two Aussie roommates, a lesbian tradie (Lori Bell) and hipster vegan (Nick Kreig), Ivan gets a firsthand insight into modern Australia. In the current climate of being an immigrant, what it takes to being one of the 'good ones' and how lucky Ivan feels that he has chosen Australia to visit.
