(checks the NZ Writers Guild website first to make sure I’m in the [clear](https://mailchi.mp/nzwritersguild.org.nz/nzwgstatement?fbclid=IwAR3cEGgJaRaZezytbe73X3fo5fCRXfHbUBCjvMrh3gf6uPTzOJTGUhGYbFs))

I’m 50 this year. I’ve written a couple of short film scripts for film school, but nothing more than that. I’ve gotta a lifetime of experience and a copy of Fade In that I haven’t opened in a year.
