The highly anticipated Season Two launch of Fizzy and Suds takes place next week on ABC Kids, with local service provider REDinc’s talented art program participants playing a starring role behind the scenes.

Produced by Byron Bay–based production company TILT Media, the show brings a fresh wave of creativity, fun, and imagination to screens across Australia. When TILT Media set out to work within the neurodivergent space, a quick Google search led them to REDinc – and from there, a remarkable collaboration was born.

Each week, REDinc participants were tasked with drawing a different subject, ranging from elephants to diggers. These creations were then carefully animated by the team at Post 11, transforming the artwork into lively and colourful characters for the show.

For many of our artists, seeing their own work spring to life on screen was nothing short of magical. Finn Andrew, one of 16 artists from REDinc’s supported Arts Studio summed up the experience perfectly:

“The project was really fun; I had a great time.”

When asked what it was like to see his art brought to life, Finn added:

“It was shocking; it was nothing like I expected. They did a really great job.”

For more than 30 years, REDinc’s mission has been to support people in achieving their dreams. The organisation itself began as a dream shared by parents three decades ago, and this project is a powerful example of that vision continuing to grow. Collaborations like Fizzy and Suds highlight what’s possible when people have the opportunity to work with skilled creatives who can support and nurture their passions and creativity.

The joy and pride on the faces of all involved at the launch preview today highlighted why projects like this matter so deeply. They open doors, spark confidence, and showcase the unique talents of neurodivergent artists in ways that inspire the broader community.

You can catch all the creativity and heart of Fizzy and Suds by tuning in to ABC Kids at 3.40pm starting Monday, September 8th and on iView.
