Just won a place in Round 8 of Wide Angle's End Game programme!  For the win!

It's a real leg-up to have this level of support pushing the first draft of a project through - in this case turning a historical novel manuscript into a feature script.  While I'm familiar with television scriptwriting, I'm painfully aware how big a set of challenges I now face.

...is the challenge.  It's one thing to have written the narrative of an unlikely friendship between a Timorese criado, a young Tasmanian commando, and a Japanese defector during the Pacific War; it's another set of challenges to turn that into a feature script - a story which will be told by actors, director and cinematographer.  When End Game kicks off, all of us in it will have 12 weeks to deliver a project.  *gulp*  But, hey, how hard can it be?

Big shout-out and thanks to Abi and Emma at Wide Angle for the opportunity, and [waving] hi to my fellow Round 8 End Gamers.
