‘With five children, two ex-husbands, four sisters, a foster son and a father she once helped jump bail, Vanessa is rarely short of inspiration for a story.’ That description comes from the 2021 Screenworks Local to Global Forum, which occurred physically in Lennox Head in Northern NSW.
Vanessa is the indomitable Vanessa Alexander who has been working internationally as a screenwriter from her home in Newcastle. She has an extraordinary range of work from fantasy for children to the bloodthirsty story world of Vikings: Valhalla.
