    Oct 28 2024

    Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.

    In this special Off Script Episode, I am on the red carpet of the opening night for the 2024 Adelaide Film Festival. The opening movie being The Correspondent. Directed by Kriv Stenders and staring Richard Roxburgh and Julian Maroun, all three of who I was very fortunate to be able to speak with on the red carpet.

    The Correspondent is the true story of award winning journalist Peter Greste who reporting on the Arab Spring uprising, becoming entangled in a deadly game of rivalries, of which he was imprisoned for seven years, despite his innocence. The story follows his journey of survival on wits alone, before being released in 2015.

    Enjoy this special episode. Huge shout out to the Adelaide Film Festival for giving me access to the red carpet and having this wonderful opportunity to meet Kriv Stenders, Richard Roxburgh and Julian Maroun, and hear some very insightful discussions on acting and storytelling.
