Australian screenwriting
Australian screen storytelling is in a state of crisis. Culturally relevant stories that reflect the sensibility of Australians are disappearing from our television and cinema screens and rarely appear on the streamers.

In this article we argue that underlying the quantitative drop in Australian drama is a mo…

The challenges begin in script development, continue through financing and end in a distribution and exhibition system that stymies profitability an…
Cultural influences in screenwriting

It is declared the most popular cinema narrative form with audiences internationally. These claims of universal application and appeal are challenged in this article via a case study of Australian feature films and their appeal to Australian audiences. Interviews with industry p…
