Development for Fat Boy Swim continues! There’s been a lot of laughter, music and intense work happening at the VF office lately. We're working with Ros Sydney, Simon Donaldson, Stephanie McGregor, Ava Duncan, James Boal, Cameron Fulton and Neil John-Gibson on this exciting new #musical adaptation.

Eight people sit around a round wooden office table engaged in discussion. There's lots of papers, cups and water bottles on the table. One person is reading a booklet. One person is laughing.
