last line by line for 2012

the last meeting for the year of a bunch of writers that get together to motivate and inspire one another. the monthly meetings also have the good fortune of a "real" writer/ producer/ film-maker in attendance to relate stories of misfortune, comedy and overcoming the odds. this month was the director/ writer bobby galinsky and his next movie, dust and glory is in the process of casting at the moment. can i tell you how much i'm looking forward to this film? a lot. adapted from a novel by evan green, it's the story of the redex car trials that run all across australia in the 50s. an insane feat at the best of times but my interest was drawn because the radio master of the 40s-50s jack davey was a keen driver and i believe took part in all of the races, even when his doctor told him not too. so this film can't get to the screen soon enough for me.
