For anyone who follows The Mighty Dragon Instagram account you will see that I recently watched Clickbait on Netflix.


IMDbWhen family man, Nick Brewer, is abducted in a crime with a sinister online twist, those closest to him race to uncover who is behind it and why.

Shot in Australia, this series has a very modern feel, utilizing the power of social media within the story and on screen.  I was delighted that actress Renee Lim, who played Alice in Clickbait, agreed to join me on the podcast.

As you will hear, Renee has many strings to her bow,  her drive and motivation are very inspiring to all. Looking through her impressive blog, Nay in the Life, I think this really underlies her work ethic, no matter what character she is portraying. The ability to look at  a subject at many different perspectives is an attribute for any creative.

We spoke too about the multi-award winning Please Like Me where she plays Mae.


IMDbTwenty something Josh is going through a number of big changes as he navigates his first decade of adulthood. After being dumped by his girlfriend, he comes to the realization that he is gay.

I think this series is typical of the way that Australian productions expertly portray sensitive subjects. Listen to Renee discuss what is was like to be part of it.
