 QOS Reader in PlayIf you are around                    the Sunshine Coast, come and see it. Lind Lane Theatre (in                    Mitchell Street, Nambour) is a great little theatre with a                    fantastic stage - its also BYO drinks for interval and                    after.
 
 The set for this play is quite special and its a                    good Australian drama - set in the mid-nineties. I have a                    small cameo in it, but its a good part.
 
 Looking forward                    to seeing you there.

 Screen Australia / Film4 -                    Internship
 Screen Australia invites applicants                    for the Film4 Producer Internship designed to expose                    Australian producers to the international film marketplace and                    best development practice.
 
 The successful recipient                    will receive $70,000 from Screen Australia to spend six months                    working in the development department at Film4 in                    London.
 
 "This is a life-changing opportunity for an                    Australian producer," said Martha Coleman, Head of Development                    at Screen Australia. "Film4 is many UK producers' first port                    of call for feature film support. The rigour with which                    scripts are analysed and creative problems solved is second to                    none.
 
 Six months working in this fast-moving                    environment will expose the successful applicant to some of                    the world's best development minds providing them with a very                    high standard of professional development."
 
 The Screen                    Australia/Film4 Producer Internship is open to producers who                    have made at least one feature film and have a proven capacity                    for creative excellence. It will provide unique exposure to                    the international film landscape at a formative time in their                    career. One $70,000 Film4 Internship will be awarded per                    year.
 
 Martha Coleman and Development Managers Veronica                    Gleeson, Mike Cowap and Susan Boehm have recorded short videos                    to help answer practitioners' questions regarding Screen                    Australia's development
