Alana Hicks is a Papua New Guinean-Australian writer, director and digital producer. Alana spearheaded three seasons of the online sketch comedy series The Kvetch Set Sketch Collective. She received the Writing NSW Early Career Writer’s Grant for a TV series in development “Home is a Foreign Country”, and recently was awarded state and national production funding for her short film “Chicken”, currently in post-production. In summary, Alana is super talented. On this night, Alana muses on how to straddle multiple cultures, how to connect, and how to be at home with yourself, all the while reminiscing about that time her high school debate team insisted on coming over to her place, and they saw and experienced more than they bargained for.
