The Australian Writers’ Guild is calling for entries for the 50th annual AWGIE Awards.
Sue Smith has received the 2018 Australian Writers’ Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of the enduring mark her work has made on the Australian cultural landscape.
AWGIE nominee Clare Sladden will make her feature directing debut on Shadow Lodge, a suspense/thriller about a once-close group of four friends who come together to renovate an old house.
Just two features are in contention for this year’s Australian Writers’ Guild AWGIE Award for Best Original Film: 'Brothers' Nest' from Jaime Browne, and 'Sweet Country' from Steven McGregor and David Tranter.
Shelley Birse has taken out the top prize at this year’s AWGIE Awards, winning the Major Award for the second season of ABC cyber-thriller The Code.
'Blaze', 'How To Please A Woman', 'Sissy' and 'Sweet As' will contend for the best original feature prize at this year’s AWGIE Awards, while 'Mrs Harris Goes to Paris', 'The Stranger' and 'The Drover's Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson' are up for the adapted gong. 'The Newsreader' leads in television with two nominations alongside 'Total Control', 'Firebite', 'Bump' and 'Heartbreak High'.
There’s more money in games than there has ever been, and the market is looking for more narrative game content. How do writers take advantage of that? That's a key question on the mind of Australian Writers' Guild (AWG) executive director Claire Pullen, as the guild ups its work with narrative designers and games writers.
Explorations of evil and entrapment took top honours at Thursday's AWGIE Awards, with Colin Cairnes and Cameron Cairnes' 'Late Night with the Devil' and Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel' winning the original and adapted feature prizes, respectively.
