Here’s a video I made of the Hoofcake shop in Brunswick, Melbourne. Proprietress Kate Geck is part of the team behind the band Toxic Lipstick and the film script Tracey’s Slumba Party. Proprietress Emily Hassel is a long time Toxic Lipstick fan and sometime co-star. I love the playfull punky Hoofcake style! It’s very inspiring to me atm.
Hoofcake shop!

JUCY goes legit at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art
Gillian Anderson, Louise Alston and Ana Kokkinos prepare to be interviewed by Margaret Pomeranz at QAGOMA
JUCY is screening at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art this winter as part of the current exhibition CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIA: WOMEN. The screenings are in a collection of films by and about women curated by beloved film critic, Margaret Pomeranz.
I was invited to speak on a panel for the opening of the exhibition with Gillian Armstrong and Ana Kokkinos. The discussion was lead by Margaret Pomeranz. Together we represented forty years of filmmaking in Australia!
Margaret Pomeranz made the point that the Australian New Wave came during the height of feminism, which has lead to Australia having more women directors than anywhere else in the world. Well done us!
Writey, writey, ready, ready summer fun
I am in the middle of the winter quarter for my UCLA certificate in screenwriting. Brain is expanding, ideas are blossoming!

Ryan Johnson is a star!
Ryan Johnson plays the conceited Alex in JUCY. Ryan is actually the complete opposite in real life!
Star of JUCY and All My Friends are Leaving Brisbane, Ryan Johnson is a new regular on the second season of US show Fairly Legal. He is shooting now in Vancouver.
So well deserved! Ryan is so extremely talented and great to work with. He is also hilarious behind the camera! See him on set in the making of All My Friends are Leaving Brisbane.
