Hi All
As I may have hinted about this in the past; I work in Australian film and television. These days I predominantly work on documentaries – in various roles – production accounting ( handling the money or lack of 🙂 ), production support, Associate Producer and on the latest job I am a co -producer. It is the latest job I am most excited about – I strongly believe that this film should be made and viewed and that maybe people power can make changes. More about the subject of the film later.
I am making this film with a highly regarded and award winning documentary maker Janine Hosking. I have known and worked with Janine for about ten years. Wish us well in our pursuit.
Thus far the film really has no budget to speak of – it is being made through the generous donations from so many people who share in our vision. This seed funding has allowed us to start up this production – the story of Angelique Flowers.
Briefly this is our film: 35 Letters

This is the story of an ordinary life with an extraordinary ending Angelique Flowers was the girl next door; the daughter, the sister, the aunty, the student. She loved the Bronte sisters and Shakespeare. She posed for photographs on Oscar Wildes’ tombstone. She baked scones. She watched the Biggest Loser. An aspiring writer, Angelique planned to write a novel. She wrote letters to her sister Michelle who lives in Canada. She wrote a total of 35 letters to mark Michelle’s 35th birthday; a birthday she subconsciously knew she would never be able to share with her. This is a story we share with you, of simple things: of the joy freshly baked biscuits hot from the oven, of clouds, of dreams and family birthdays, of song lyrics that make you laugh, make you cry, of hope and of the joy of the every day. Angelique alludes to her ill health, she never dwells on it. If you blink you miss the clues….blink again her life is over.
I am just starting a new blog to celebrate the making of the film, please take a look and follow our journey.
