Standing There Productions has been keeping a low profile over the last few months, which actually means we've been working hard on a couple of our long-term projects. Lorin goes into writing lock-down this week on them, which probably means there will be more regular updates on our diary page including updates on our recent trip to the Sydney Writers' Festival.
Stewart, Lorin and Rita have just spent some time together in Sydney where Rita is continuing her internship with Jan Chapman, working on the new Jane Campion film, Bright Star. The film has just had an amazing response from critics and audiences at its world premiere in competition at Festival de Cannes in France.
Other Standing There friends are off being talented all over the place. Tim Stitz, when he isn't being charming in the social pages of The Age with Carly Schrever, performs from June 10th in Prophet and Loss, at Wyselaskie Hall at the Centre for Theology & Ministry. See more here.
In geographic news, our wonderful website designer Paul Daniel has gone to Norway, apparently indefinitely. We would like to thank Paul for all the work he's done creating and constantly maintaining this site. We're grateful he's only an email away, although he has done such a good job setting everything up that we hope not to disturb him too often. We get comments about our website a lot, and Standing There wouldn't be quite the same without it. Thanks Paul.
