Here is a beautiful piece on KENNEDY in The Hollywood Reporter Australia.

I’m so excited to be Producing and Casting this very special film, finally telling the story through Bridget Kennedy’s eyes.. A woman whose voice and story have been overlooked for far too long.
Her story, her loss, her strength, her voice. ❤️
I can’t wait to share more… ❤️

🎬 CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT 🎬

We are so proud to welcome the incredible Anthony Brandon Wong to the cast of Kennedy.

Best known globally as Ghost in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, and for his groundbreaking role in SBS’s The Family Law, Anthony joins us as Liu Dihuan, a journalist who refuses to accept the accepted version of history, and dares to ask: was Ned Kelly really the hero so many Australians believe him to be?

Anthony also joins the team as Drama Coach, bringing decades of experience mentoring some of Australia’s most celebrated actors.

Kennedy tells the untold story of Bridget Kennedy, the fierce, loving widow of Sergeant Michael Kennedy, killed by the Kelly Gang, and her extraordinary fight to be remembered.

Welcome to the family, Anthony. 🖤

Produced by Darren K Hawkins, Thea McLeod and @kierendevisser Written by Darren K Hawkins and @mcleod_casting who also stars. Casting by @mcleod_casting by @mcleod_casting

What an incredible night seeing Legally Blonde with Stars and the Moon 🌟💗

Stars and the Moon is a wonderful Melbourne-based, not-for-profit theatre organisation creating professional, inclusive theatre opportunities for people with and without disabilities. Their unique Castmate Model pairs performers together to support one another throughout the production, creating theatre with, not despite, their diversity. (Stars and the Moon)

It was such a joyful, uplifting production and incredibly special seeing the beautiful Cece up there absolutely shining. ✨

Huge congratulations to @cece.rickards and the entire cast, creatives and everyone behind this wonderful organisation. What you are creating is truly special. 💕 @starsandthemoon_theatre Xx by @mcleod_casting

A first look at Aussie at Heart, premiering on @hallmarkchannel on 15/8 🌴🩵🛥️

Earlier this year I worked on this dream project with a cast and crew that made filming in paradise more magical than I could have imagined.

I am beyond grateful to have been part of this one, with our incomparable captain @colin.budds directing, the beautiful @mcleod_casting, our wonderful writers @ansleygordon and @sophietilson, and @jaggi_entertainment at the helm of such a heartfelt production. Thank you for having me along for the ride, and to the most genuine, hardworking cast and crew who made the whole experience what it was.

I’d had this project on my vision board for 5 years, and to see everything I had on it come to fruition is pretty special.

I can’t wait for you to meet Liv Stevens and the rest of the crew in 5 days on Hallmark Channel! ⚓️

A couple of wonderful nights at the Melbourne International Film Festival. ❤️🎬

There really is something special about MIFF. It’s not just the films 💜it’s catching up with friends and colleagues, bumping into familiar faces, sharing plenty of laughs, and spending time with my beautiful best friends. These are the nights I love.

Opening Night with Wicker was the perfect way to launch the festival. Such a clever, beautifully crafted film that had us completely hooked from beginning to end. Huge congratulations to everyone involved.

Then tonight we saw The Best Summer… and wow, what a ride! It took us straight back to the good old days of the ’90s. God, we had an incredible time! The music, the memories... It was nostalgic, funny, emotional and a beautiful reminder of just how special those years were.

A huge congratulations to all the filmmakers, cast, crews and everyone who makes MIFF such an incredible celebration of storytelling. Feeling very lucky to be part of this wonderful industry and to share it with such beautiful friends.

Here’s to many more films, memories and laughs over the coming week. ❤️✨

Delighted to be featured in The Hollywood Reporter Australia.

A huge thank you to Paris Raine and Sean Sennett for the feature. It was a pleasure chatting with Paris about my journey as a casting director, my role as President of the Casting Guild of Australia, and my passion for championing Australian talent.

I’m incredibly grateful to the producers, directors, actors, agents and production teams I’ve had the privilege of working with throughout my career. Thank you for your trust, collaboration and support.
