Sampson in Redesign My Brain

The Australian Academy of Cinema Television and Arts (AACTA) named Redesign My Brain with Todd Sampson the best TV documentary series of the year as The Great Gatsby won prizes in seven categories in the first part of its annual awards.

Baz Luhrman’s Gatsby swept aside all competition in film winning each of the six awards for which it was nominated in, with another seven, including best film, to be announced at the gala event on Thursday to be broadcast on Channel Ten.

During an awards lunch at The Star event centre in Sydney this afternoon Sampson joined Mindful Media’s Paul Scott and Isabel Perez on stage as they were presented with the award for the three part series on ABC1.
