2018 In Pictures – Howard Fine Acting Studios, Shakespeare Republic, Melbourne WebFest and more #acting #webseries #Shakespeare

Of course, as it’s nearing the end of the year, it meant that I fell ill almost immediately after the HFAS Master Class in November, as I was finally in the position for the first time in 12 months where I didn’t have to be somewhere doing something.

Melbourne WebFest is over for another year and it was a crazy, intense, fun and exhausting ride!

In what has turned out to be the biggest MWF to date, we had four days of screenings, panels, networking events and of course…

Absolutely delighted to announce that I have accepted the position of Board Member and General Manager at Melbourne Web Fest! Steinar Ellingsen (Festival Director) made the offer back in September and I officially took up my duties in early October.
