I'm originally from the South Burnett (Kingaroy) area but I’ve been to virtually every town in rural Queensland and have a keen understanding about the challenges of trying to write screenplays and plays for a person based outside a capital city.  I have twice won Australia's only playwriting competition specifically for plays on a rural theme (Dogwood Playwriting Initiative organised by the Miles Regional Arts Council).
