While keeping his day job as creative director and copywriter at Melbourne advertising agencies, Terence Hammond has pursued a dream – to write a screenplay and get it made as a film.
Join us as he recounts the highs and lows of the journey that finally got him where he was going.
Along the way, he’ll touch on other scripts that didn’t make it, Oliver Stone, cold calling Hollywood, what he has learnt about screenwriting and what he’s failed to learn along the way. He’ll talk about Robert McKee, whether working in advertising has been a help or a hindrance and why it’s taken him 20 years to achieve overnight success.
