This week I have a chat with writer, director, actors of theatre and screen, teacher, radio host and filmmaker, Wayne Tunks.

In this weeks episode we talk a lot about developing your own works. Wayne wasn’t being cast all that much and decided to write himself all the best parts and has amassed an impressive portfolio of works that he has developed from plotting through to shooting and doing the festival circuits.

On the topic of making your own content, if this is something you are thinking about but just don’t know where to start or think you don’t have the right equipment, you need look no further than your pocket. You have an entire movie making device in your hands, your mobile. I am shooting my own short film this month and its all for a locally run smart phone festival called SF3 – the deadline for submissions for this festival are August 1st this year. You can submit a micro short, a short up to 20 minutes or a feature. Honestly the possibilities are endless. Check out SSF3.com.au for more information, but why not write yourself the best part (I certainly have) and develop your first film for this years SF3. If you’re selected for the gala, you can see your film on the big screen in November at Event Cinemas.

I have also written a short film that I am shooting in June and I am currently raising funds to pay the cast and crew for their time. If you can spare a couple of bucks, i'd love your support. You can donate at here
