CONT’D, part 2: I flew direct from that beautiful wedding to the #torontointernationalfilmfestival (1) (Sweet Milk Lake was one of 42 feature projects selected worldwide for the 17th annual #Ontario Creates Film Financing Forum) then onto #NYC (2), #LA (3) and #SanFrancisco (3) with a lovely #PalmSprings weekend detour (4). In LA I studied with @alexandertechworks which was nothing short of life changing, and I got to see so many wonderful people I’d missed for so long including @ngaire_dawn and @benjipea and baby Yoko! The day after I got back home I was in rehearsals for #cavemxn by @goosecameron at @chapeloffchapel (5) and a week after cavemxn closed I was in #WA soaking up family time (6). At the same time I was lucky enough to be working towards my first #tvwriting credit. I also joined the @redstitch ensemble! Lastly, no big deal but @crimpity finished her mammoth degree and got a job and it’s a HUGE DEAL (7 - if you know how hard she’s worked, you know, I am SO proud of her ❤️❤️). Thank you to everyone and every org who has been a part of our year and supported us, there are too many thank yous to mention so just THANK YOU. #HappyNewYear everyone, bring on #2023 ✨✨✨ @mollisonkeightleymanagement @grandviewla
REFLECTING pt 1: 2022 started with a relocation to stunning #lutruwita (1,3) for 5.5 months to shoot #DEADLOCH for @amazonprime (2- dream gig, catch it in 2023) and my second round as an @australiansinfilm #HeathLedgerScholarship finalist (4 - awards ceremony night). While I was in lutruwita I was lucky enough to receive a #playwriting commission from @malthousetheatre to write my first #stageplay (5). My director/writer/producer debut #featurefilm Sweet Milk Lake received @screenaustralia development funding and was selected as a @wearevicscreen / @sbs_australia / @arenamedia_australia ‘Originate’ top four finalist, so when I got back home we shot a #proofofconcept for the film as part of our ongoing development (6,7), and @wearevicscreen supported me in doing a #directorsattachment with the awe-inspiring @emmafreemanmakesfilms on #TheNewsreaderS2 (a huge honour!). As soon as I was out of the proof of concept edit I flew to #meeanjin with some of the people I love most in the whole world to watch @carolynpatriciarose and @cambenda93 get married (8,9,10 - glorious) … CONT’D IN NEXT POST @mollisonkeightleymanagement @grandviewla
