In Conversation with Gaylene
Preston
“Documentary or drama, biography or fantasy, the
question remains the same: how do you tell dramatic,
character-based stories truthfully?”
Gaylene Preston
Gaylene Preston, champion of local story-telling,
discusses her search for the authentic voice through her
films from Bread and Roses to War Stories, Perfect Strangers
to her current project, Home by Christmas, and the dramatic
principles she has applied to her work since her first
feature film Mr Wrong.
Join MC, award-winning
screenwriter Graeme Tetley (Out of the Blue, Ruby and Rata,
Bread & Roses), for a conversation about commitment,
personal politics, and the fine line between documentary and
drama.
