Here’s the thing, if you can’t find me napping with cats, you can probably find me rifling through record stores, or behind the wheel of my car. In my day job as a retail merchandiser, I buzz about the streets of Melbourne while devouring audiobooks and avoiding cyclists. In recent times, I’ve been diagnosed as autistic with a side salad of ADHD. Explains a lot - especially when it comes to those Special Interest (tm) collections of coins, records, and first edition books.
And, while I might share my experiences online - whether via socials or here on my site - I can only speak for me. Your mileage with spicy brain may vary.
Recently, I co-authored the screenplay adaptation of Escape from the Commodore 64 with my friend and collaborator David Hearne. It has since received official selection at the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards. More recently, we won a string of Best Feature Screenplay awards, including at the Gold Coast Film Festival's Queensland Screenwriting Awards. This led to us receiving some interest from production houses.
We’re both bursting with excitement to tell you what happens next.
In the meantime, I’m working through notes for our next screenplay.
