News just in this morning that my short doco Chemo Head has been selected as a finalist for the Fraser Shorts Film Festival in Queensland. The story charts one woman's journey through cancer, chemo and hair loss. That woman was me.

Artbox Films is running a self-tape course for emerging actors in Sydney in late October to upgrade their casting outcomes. To that end we're posting a series of 'Self-tape Tips' to promote the course.

Self-tape Tip #1: Hannah, playing a self-tape actor looks for a location to record a Self-tape in an airport. Why an airport? Because she's travelling. Zoë provides her with a director's feedback about her choice of location. Hannah and Zoë are the course instructors for Artbox Films' upcoming Self-tape Course for actors in Sydney (Australia). The course commences on Saturday, October 25th and continues on Saturday, November 1st and concludes on Thursday night, November 6th 2025. Contact hours in total are 13.5

The course is designed to upgrade actor's showreels with two new self-tapes they'll record in the course using scripts that play to their acting strengths.

Places are limited to 8 maximum so book in asap.

Early bird cost is $575 AUD and regular cost is $675 AUD.

Artbox Films is settling in at the new office in Crows Nest after making the move in mid February. It's so central. Right on Pacific Highway across from the new Metro and Crows Nest shopping village which is a five minute walk away. Perfect for grabbing a bite at lunch time. The office is on the top floor of a two-storey building above a boxing gym and opens onto a huge breakout space overlooking Pacific Highway that will really suit play and film rehearsals, and script reads.

I went along to AWG's Write Night: Meet the Developers panel event at the Knox St Bar last night. Heads of Development were from Bunya Productions, Lingo Pictures and Goalpost Pictures. The chair was from Wooden Horse. I hope AWG hold more of these events so writers/creatives can learn firsthand what production companies in Oz are currently looking for in terms of format, genre, tone and story.
