This episode finds me in the esteem of another Curtin University alum. In 2012, his short film "Transmission" a tonal companion piece for "These Final Hours" was nominated for Best Film at the 2013 AACTA awards and won Best Screenplay.
In 2014 his debut feature These Final Hours [a self-described “movie about the bogan apocalypse] as stated in the Screen Australia Media release dated April 22 2014 had its International premiere at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes receiving a standing ovation after its screening.
And as noted in Cinefestoz.com, "To date he is the first and [still the] only Australian to solely write and direct two exclusively Netflix original films" namely, the 2017 film titled 1922 adapted from the Full Dark, No Stars collection of four novellas by Stephen King, and the follow up original film Rattlesnake released in 2019.
Please enjoy this entertaining discussion with Zak Hilditch.

For this 3rd installment of Diary of a Creative from OZ to NZ I virtually traverse the Trans-Tasman bubble into Middle Earth to chat with an individual who is a dedicated and respected early childhood educator, has referred to themselves as an accidental actor, starring in tv shows the likes of The Watercooler, The Eggplant and my personal favourite Wellington Paranormal as well as various short films.
In addition to appearing as Officer O’Leary alongside her patrol partner Officer Minogue in their original incarnations as members of the New Zealand police force in the Vampire Mockumentary 'What We Do In the Shadows', written and directed by Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement.
And when not playing Scully to Minogue’s on-screen police persona of Moulder because, "he’s a guy with brown hair", you can catch her musical stylings in the kids band Fun & Funner with ECC colleague and good friend Tom Watson accompanied by some awesome Wellington musicians making and playing music for kids' that adults love too!
Welcome to the show KAREN O’LEARY.

In this 2nd installment of Diary of a Creative from OZ to NZ I sit down for a virtual tête-à-tête with Aussie Director Ben Young days before his flight out to Atlanta, Georgia where he will start prep on his latest feature based on the novel by David Joy titled, "Where All Light Tends to Go" starring Billy Bob Thornton and Robin Wright.
We touch on the critical success of his 2016 psychological thriller debut feature ‘Hounds of Love. As well as recap is sophomore outing directing the action/sci-fi/ movie EXTINCTION’ released worldwide on Netflix in 2018. Look into what drew him to direct Episodes 5 and 6 of the highly anticipated Australian-American co-produced Netflix mini-series CLICKBAIT, released August 25, 2021 and I try to get Ben to share as much info as he can about his third outing in the director’s chair on "Where All Light Tends to Go".

Throughout September and perhaps October and maybe even November, I’ll be interviewing creatives from OZ and hopefully NZ, discussing their love of the arts and the careers they’re carving out of this love and anything in between.
So Welcome to the Diary of a Creative series. To kick things off I caught up with a legendary Melbournian of proud Greek heritage and possibly mythical origins, director and filmmaker at Visible Studios, Nick Kozakis. We chat about the herculean accomplishment of the Tones And I 'Dance Monkey' music clip which since it’s initial release to youtube on Jun 25, 2019 has amassed over 1.6 billion views.
Nick teases at the VSMVU (Visible Studio Music Video Universe) he's creating with Masked Wolf (aka Harry Michael) and he shares some exciting updates about his new and upcoming feature 'In God's Care'. Plus he reveals which characters of Futurama share a characteristic resemblance with him and his misfit crew of creatives at Visible Studios.
