publications and a short film

I managed to get another short story "Heroic Mother" to be published in the Griffith Review coming out in November themed "In the neighborhood" - meaning Asia. And at the moment I'm in production for a short seven minute film called "Ma". Yes there is a mother theme running through all this! 'Silence" has gotten $8000 in funding from Melbourne City Council which will launch it off the ground for production next year. So even though I haven't actually done much in the way of writing over the last two months- thanks to working full time- there are things on the way.
