Festival Dinner Guest Speaker: Graeme Simsion
Graeme left behind a career in information technology to enrol in a screenwriting diploma at RMIT. Five years later, he had a feature-film screenplay but no funding,
so he re-wrote the story as a novel. The Rosie Project has since been an international success. (And he has sold the screenplay!)
The Rosie Project: A Geek's Transformation
A story of two transformations: The Rosie Project from real-life story to dramatic screenplay to comedic novel and the author's own journey from IT business owner to screenwriter to novelist.
