It’s one of Giula Sandler’s personal bugbears that writers are often overlooked when film and TV shows get mentioned in the media. ‘It drives me nuts,’ says the Melbourne-based screenwriter as we share lunch one Autumn day, and I try to unlock the secrets of her extensive IMDB profile.‘The press often talks about the producer, the director, and the cast, but not the writer,’ she says. ‘It’s insane because none of those people would have anything to do without the words on the page.’
