@uscongenperth @cinefestoz @FilmShowcase @Screenwest Thanks so much! A fantastic collaboration.

Congratulations to @wiftaus on a successful Writers Retreat as part of last week's @cinefestoz. We were thrilled to see WA creatives connect with U.S. producer and director Alan Poul virtually. Thanks to @FilmShowcase and @Screenwest! #USwithAUS

A big shout out to the organisations taking part in this week’s massive Design Intensive at #QUT. 💗 You’re helping 615 students learn how #design can be used for #socialgood. bddy.me/3jEROW9 @OrangeSkyAU @headspace_aus @centreforwomen_ @wiftaus #QUTCreativeIndustries

@mehlsbells Thanks for the feedback, Mel. So glad to hear it was useful for you.

Thanks to @wiftaus for the Pathways for Directors workshop tonight. Hearing many who've 'made it' honestly acknowledging in these weirder-than-ever times, self doubt attacks harder, is strangely reassuring. Then working through actionable moves all together is bolstering!

To All the #Film_Communities in The World and Who Loves Film and Cinema! I write to you with a broken heart and a deep hope that you can join me in protecting my beautiful people, especially filmmakers from the Taliban. #Share it please, don't be #silent.

Judy Irola, who in 1995 was the 3rd woman invited to join the American Society of Cinematographers, has sadly passed due to complications from COVID. Judy was an educator, firebrand, and adamant that the ASC recruit more women. "There are women out there who need to be included."
