AHHH, OMGGG!!! We’re so honored to receive this award for @amari.gala Visual Artist of the Year 🧡✨
CEEBS was inspired by the messiness and humour of navigating friendship, community, culture and identity as young people in the west. It’s a story rooted in experiences of Melbourne’s Black diaspora, and being recognised by Amari, a platform that uplifts and celebrates that same community, makes this win feel especially meaningful.
Endless gratitude to our incredible cast and crew for pouring their energy, heart and humour into this project. And to our community, friends and family - thank you for showing up for us! Your love, support and votes made this possible! 😜
Gary would be so proud! 🕊️🤍
Leigh and Betiel have been nominated for Visual Artist of the Year @amari.gala for CEEBS!! 🧡✨

Step away from your phones and come see CEEBS for realz!
Goldspring Youth Centre’s beloved Youth President, Gary the Magpie, has passed away. In the ensuing power vacuum, best friends Zion and Ruby must step up to save their centre from closure. With rapid-fire banter and oversized egos, the duo launch a campaign for Youth President, navigating community conflicts, conspiracies, and cult leader-esque opposition. What begins as a mission to save their centre soon unravels as political differences threaten both their campaign and their lifelong friendship.
CEEBS is an 18-part comedy micro-drama and a love letter to the community centres that shaped its creators, produced for TikTok and Instagram (@ceebsseries ). Episodes 1–7 will be screened.
