Georgina Jenkins' feature concept 'Blackbird' has won the AACTA Pitch: Regional Landscapes competition.
When Emma Jensen wrote the first treatment of the screenplay for 'Mary Shelley' in 2011, she could not have imagined how the climate for female-centred films- and more broadly for women’s rights - would have evolved by the time the film was released.
“It’s a great story about female friendship, it’s an aspirational story and it happened before the #MeToo movement and we’ve come clashing into that.”
Brisbane native Emma Jensen talks to Harry Windsor about her career as a writer and the path to her first feature, 'A Storm in the Stars', starring Elle Fanning and Douglas Booth and set for release this year.
Maleficent's Elle Fanning will play the teenage Mary Shelley in A Storm in the Stars, a romantic drama scripted by Australian writer Emma Jensen, with Haifaa Al-Mansour attached to direct.
