Melbourne WebFest round-up and more news on the Shakespeare front – it’s still all go this July! #shakespeare #webfest #allthethings
So that’s another WebFest done for 2018, only this time I wasn’t just there as a creator, but primarily in my role as General Manager. Melbourne WebFest is over for another year and it was a crazy, intense, fun and exhausting ride! But I love these guys and the festival and it was so good to be able to catch up with so many people that I haven’t had a chance to see in ages, but also make some new friends in the online series world. In what has turned out to be the biggest MWF to date, we had four days of screenings, panels, networking events and of course…

It’s May already!? More the point – it’s almost halfway through 2017 already!? Where do I start? We filmed and released Shakespeare Republic: #LoveTheBard (Season Two) AND prepped, filmed, edited and premiered the newest addition to the Shakespeare Republic stable: the Shakespeare short film Speaking Daggers. I’m back on the documentary Champion, with completion for that film on track, plus have one play and two more screen projects in development. So let’s break that down, shall we?

Jack Irish, Shakespeare Republic and other fun stuff!
Despite my good intentions to update this blog more often, once again nearly four months has gone by. But my excuse is a good one, as I’ve been truly busy on so many fronts, I’ve had no time to share the news! So here goes … JACK IRISH I had an absolute blast on Jack Irish (which shot late last year) and was very much looking forward to seeing the whole series when it began airing last month. And I wasn’t disappointed. Great cast (if I say so myself), great writing, great direction, great tone – loved it! You can still catch the series in full on ABC’s iView until March 31st, and…
