About Mark
I’m a first-time screenwriter based in Queensland, Australia. At 62, I’ve written my debut screenplay, Bolt Out of the Blue, driven by a lifelong love of storytelling and a deep belief in cinema’s power to entertain, provoke, and inspire.
My writing is intuitive rather than academic—grounded in imagination, shaped by lived experience, and sharpened by the late-in-life discovery that I have ADHD. Diagnosed at 58, treatment has given me the focus to finally put decades of ideas into motion.
I've spent most of my professional life in sales, travelling across Queensland and meeting people from all walks of life. Their voices, struggles, and humour have fuelled the emotional core of my writing.
I’ve been married since 1982 and have a grown son born in 1993. They’ve supported this creative leap with endless encouragement.
This is the first script I've brought to completion, but it won’t be the last.
Unique traits: I come to writing late in life and think this gives me a prospective as a movie lover of many years.
