THE ANIMATED SERIES
Teens' challenges and triumphs
The Bondi Crew is an animated early teen adventure series created in response to the challenges faced by our three children during their pre/early teen years. The show centres on five friends—Rayze, Tama, Macca, Bronte, and Dart—navigating life in Bondi Beach.
THE CREATORS
MARIEKE HOL
The artist and creative
Marieke or ‘Moi’ started out her career with one of the best jobs in the world at Hanna Barbera Studios.
She painted some of the old favourites including, The Flintstones, Pound Puppies, and Top Cat; then landed at Cat Flap animation studio where she painted what went on to become an Aussie Icon…
Louie the Fly.
Moi has also created art works for TV programs shown around the world, as well as a number of Australian TV shows such as, Winners and Losers and City Homicide.
Now it’s time to go back to the start with...
The Bondi Crew.
ALEX PEKISH
Hot chips to media legend
Alex started his journey as an accountant, moved on to selling hot dogs outside of nightclubs and settled into a career in media buying after countless num num conversations about sauce and mustard.
A lot of fun was had over 30 years, across three states and working on some of the biggest commercial and public clients in Australia and APAC.
For his troubles he was inducted into the Melbourne Media Hall of Fame in 2022.
The nerd in the pack, the one with Excel always open, the logical one. Probably not cool enough to hang with The Bondi Crew but smart enough to be their agent.
GREG OSBORNE
Producer and advocate
The South Australian Film corporation awarded Greg his first funding back in 1999 to write and produce a fifteen minute comedy film. He's since produced several short films that have screened at festivals around the world and written a couple of feature length screenplays.
After winning an ADMA for a Campaign he proudly produced for Amnesty International about Guantanamo Bay, he went on to be an Associate Producer for EStar Productions in 2006, producing content for Arena TV on Foxtel.
Now he's just keen to hang on the beach with The Bondi Crew where the screenplays will play out in front of him.
YORRY
Change strategist
A former creative director and senior executive in global branding, advertising and publishing, working across the UK, Caribbean, US, EU and Australia on global campaigns, inc. MINI, British Airways, Samsung, Range Rover, Financial News, Emirates and Microsoft.

– Not much time for the beach or surf ATM; hopefully, pretty soon 🤞 🏄🏼
