Directing Actors for Screen - Day Four

Sarah Hallam and Brendan Cowell performing a tense scene.



Brendan Cowell is in da house!
Actor Brendan Cowell takes a break from Bell Shakespeare's Hamlet (he currently appears nightly in the title role at the Arts Centre Playhouse). Students were pleasantly surprised to say the least when Brendan dropped in on Thursday afternoon to perform their scripted scenes!

Course participant James (writer of Two Twisted episode produced by Bryan Brown and starring Sam Neil) gives direction to Sarah Hallam and John Brumpton.



On Day Four, the four of us auditioned and cast a scene from our own film projects with the professional actors. The direction of the chosen scenes really start to take shape.

Actors included Sarah Hallam (
Stingers), John Brumpton (Underbelly), Georgina Bolton (City Homicide), Ian Rose (Eastenders), and of course, Brendan Cowell (Noise).
