Duncan Thompson is one name that consistently appears in the development credits of Australia’s most successful films. He ran Aurora (script workshops) for many years and has played a part in developing many of Australia’s most successful screenplays including Japanese Story, Little Fish, Somersault and, more recently, The Black Balloon. He now runs the Sydney-based International Film School. Duncan gave a scintillating talk at the Australian Writer’s Guild on the weekend. Well – it was more like a sermon. Albeit a very engaging and intriguing one.
Here he is. In a park this time.
Another week – yet another Shivering Geoff for ya!
The silly season is over. Memories of yesteryear.
Zeitgeisters,
Edwin and I are planning the New Year. He’s a big fan of using Freemind mind-mapping software to create a picture of his future. He’s visual (being a director) and it makes perfect sense for those who are. I’m basically Luddite (being a writer) and I like to see things written down on a piece of paper.
Somehow we’ll bring it altogether as we assemble 2009 for Geoffrey.com.au. Expect to see more Shivering Geoff, Shivering Geoff -Series 2 and some new features: The Lawnmower Diaries, Donna’s Lovely Feet, and more on-line marketing for our on-line feature, Women of Various Ages.
Keep your eye out for the new stuff. Above is a word from our new sponsor.
Cheers, Mr Trivia
It’s funny to think that more people have seen my short films here on YouTube than have ever seen any at a cinema. 8 more episodes (this season) to go. Don’t forget to click on our sponsors to keep us afloat >>>>
Another week – another Shivering Geoff. He’s a fun guy.

Ed says: I don’t earn a living making films. I wouldn’t dare. It would kill the love and passion I have for filmmaking. No. I teach and build websites for a living. But I do make films regularly.
