Biography
Tony Rogers is the co-creator and director of the beloved ‘Wilfred” series for SBS, now a hit series in the US. His award winning signature style is comedic realism and high concepts, utilizing brilliant casting for stellar performances. His first foray into feature film was the highly acclaimed RATS AND CATS, a quirky but realistic look into the lives of an unexpected group of Aussies passing time in the fictitious coastal town of Gladdington. His comedy web series HOW TO TALK AUSTRALIANS (2014) has been a viral sensation, attracting international acclaim and sparking heated debate. This has opened the audience to his current feature film where the Indian Linguistics students take a tour to Australia.... a comical adventure ready to hit screens in India and worldwide.
AFIN recognition
From the Judges, on How To Talk Australians (2026)
From the Judges, on How To Talk Australians
A distinctly Australian comedy of cultural misunderstanding, this feature runs on deadpan delivery and rapid-fire gags that land with warmth and authenticity. They admired the film's original voice, the cheeky direct-to-camera teachings for the viewer, and visual work that draws real character from the landscape.
