Intermediate - II Stage Course
Hi Denise, I am just writing to Congratulate Malcolm Frawley for his professional and insightful teachings in our Intermediate class that finished approximately two weeks ago. Could you also please thank him for me. I am pleased with what I have taken away from each stage with my experience so far at Screenwise. Kindest Regards,

Lani Castle - Screenteens
Hi Denise, Just a quick email to let you know Lani is unable to attend Screenteens this term as she was successful in auditioning for a stage production called Rock Café which will be directed by Tyran Parke. This will take up most weekends in the next term as they rehearse in 5 hour blocks. Her Screenwise training is still helping her book jobs….She has also been very busy, auditioning once again for Maura Fay casting for a Kmart TVC (not sure of outcome), and lastly was requested by Beyond Productions in the JUDI BUENOANO story to play the role of KIMBERLY GOODYEAR in the TV series Deadly Women 2 which she will film this coming week, this is the second time she has been booked from the one audition tape she did for them so it is very exciting for her,

Chauvel in Paddington!
Hi Denise, Thanks to yourself and Reka for passing my details on to Rommel (producer) for the short film late last week. I was cast, along with Cassie, and spent a whirlwind weekend on learning lines/filming and wrapped final scenes last night. Apparantly it will be screened at some point with a couple of other shorts at the Chauvel in Paddington...the big screen! See you tomorrow, x Fe.

Blockbuster - WOW!
Hi Denise, Where do I start? Lani loved the workshop with Dave so much she has not stopped talking about it. Thank you so much for suggesting it. Dave has left a lasting impression on Lani and she keeps coming out with absolute pearls of wisdom drawn from his words. She nearly filled a whole exercise book with notes she took from his work shop. We watched her audition tape and his advice to Lani was brilliant. He is indeed a talented and amazing Australian. It was also great to see what happens in audition, I have always let Lani be herself and go in by herself as she has always been so independent and I do not want her to feel uncomfortable in front of me.
