For Western Australian author Adam Morris, screenwriting may carry some advantages over penning a novel but making a film is far from an easy ride.
The Albany-based writer can now add director and producer to his titles after wrapping production on debut feature Edward and Isabella in August.
Morris, who has published books My Dog Gave Me the Clap and Bird, said while there was less pressure than what he was used to in the writing process, the project as a whole was the “most stressful thing” he’s ever done.
“Writing the screenplay was a lot of fun and casting was a lot of fun but we were living all together in my house while also filming there,” he told If.
“We’d shoot and I’d be doing the catering some days as well, so I’d cook after we’d finished.

Tony Robinson’s revisionist Robin Hood children’s comedy series, out now on limited edition DVD, was a hoot…
In the mid-eighties, my teenage sister amused herself by teaching me to say “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”. Not being a six-year-old well-versed in the rhetorical techniques of social emancipation, I didn’t get it. (I’d seen a flea circus; why mightn’t fish find a use for bikes?) My feminist awakening was obviously going to have to wait.

But not long, it turned out. One copy of Babette Cole’s Princess Smartypants picked from the Year Three reading table later and I was feeling pretty woke.

Danny John-Jules has voiced his approval of a potential Maid Marian and Her Merry Men reunion.
Creator Sir Tony Robinson recently said that he might return to the classic BBC children's comedy "one day".
Red Dwarf actor John-Jules - who played merry man Barrington in the show - said he would definitely like to be involved if the project came to fruition.
"Man, I'd be there like greased cheetah s**t," he told Digital Spy. "I'd be there in a minute.
"To me, it's still probably the - or at least one of the - best children's shows ever made. And the fact it won the Prix Jeunesse award? I think the BBC hadn't won that for 10 years or something.
"The first series won a Royal Television Society award, a Bafta and a Prix Jeunesse. It was like, 'My god, this is the first series and we've won all these,...

Sir Tony Robinson has said that he is "proud" of his classic children's TV series Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, which marks its 25th anniversary this year.
The Blackadder actor created and starred in the BBC comedy, which ran for four series from 1989 to 1994.
"That was the first series that I had artistic control over," he told Digital Spy. "It was just me and my friend David Bell, who was the director, and we made all the decisions.
"You just wouldn't be able to make a series in that way for British television now, there would be too many commissioning editors leaning over your back."
He continued: "We were given a remarkably good budget and were totally allowed to see our vision through. I'm really glad that I was able to do that, and I'm still very proud of it."

One of the things that fascinates me most about the horror genre is the vast array of approaches the author has at his or her disposal in order to achieve the desired effect of scaring the reader. Some go for aggressive, in-your-face attempts at pure shock; some fill their inkwells with blood and guts to go for the gross-out; and some simply sidle up next to you and whisper terrible, disquieting things in your ear.
That last approach is the one Gary McMahon takes in his new novella The Bones of You, the latest entry in the Earthling Publications Halloween Series. It takes serious chops to make that route work, and McMahon’s effort here is an unqualified success.
The Bones of You centers on Adam Morris, a guy who has carried some serious baggage into the new home he’s just rented. Morris is divorced, but he and his...

A Nickelodeon TV series that you probably never heard of is getting made into a movie. Genie in the House: The Movie just got its financing at the San Sebastian Film Festival. "Genie in the House" ran from 2006-09 on Nickelodeon U.K. and is about a widowed dad and his two teen daughters who find a lamp inside the house they just moved into. The lamp contains a genie in training. The dad says "no magic" but, well you've seen "Wizards of Waverly Place" or maybe "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie," of course magic happens with mishaps in every episode. The movie is being funded by German, French and Spanish companies. It's a similar deal to House of Anubis, also a series that started on Nick UK, and is getting made into a movie by international interests.
