What a lovely project. I recently recorded the narration for a beautiful iPhone story app about a cute little dog called Geoff and some of his crazy adventures. Simple, beautifully illustrated, gorgeous music and with a subtle but important message.

Should be available towards the end of the year.

Sydney, Australia 1953, a city in the grip of a deadly crime wave. In just over a year more than one hundred people were poisoned. The shocking truth is that most of the killers were women.

Recipe For Murder follows the detectives cracking the cases, the media fuelling the crime wave and the women standing trial. Based on actual courtroom transcripts and newspapers of the time, the film combines gritty archive with stunning film noir re-enactments, interviews with witnesses and a music score from “Animal Kingdom” composer Antony Partos.

I worked as Production Co-ordinator on this film.

Diane is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! Not only was I impressed with her quick turnaround time – her delivery (pace, tone, inflection) was spot-on. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I look forward to future projects.
