Monica Zanetti: building a directing and writing career across film and TV
We're joined on Breaking Screen by Monica Zanetti - an award-winning screenwriter and director, who talks about how she shifts between working on her own IP or being a gun for hire on film and television, her writing and directing process, how being a Catherine Hardwicke fan led her to filmmaking, and why the Notes app has become a crucial part of development.
Monica is the co-creator of the SBS series While The Men Away, of which she directed the bottle episode. Monica also wrote and directed the film Ellie & Abbie (& Ellie's Dead Aunt) which was based on her stage play of the same name. The film won the 2021 AACTA award for Best Independent Film and is now playing on Netflix. She was nominated for an Australian Directors' Guild award for her work on the SBS series Iggy & Ace, and her earlier work includes writing on the Netflix series Sisters and the Acorn series My Life Is Murder.
