An emerging screenwriter, director and producer; Angeline Armstrong is based in Melbourne but jumps at every opportunity to waltz across the seas and into the arms of the big wide world beyond. Cherishing collaboration and always eager to learn, Angeline is literate across a variety of media platforms and is a creative and critical practitioner in her field. During her studies, Angeline has also had the opportunity to experiment with emerging forms of online digital media storytelling and experimental video. Graduating in 2014 with a Bachelor of Media (Majoring in Film/TV, Minoring in Philosophy & French) Angeline embraces her primary love for traditional, linear narrative in film and television and now directs her focus to honing this craft in the hope that she may one day truly master it.


As a writer, producer and director
In 2013 one of 10 young Australians who received a scholarship to attend filmmaking intensive workshops at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) under the mentorship of industry professionals including director Baz Luhrmann (The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet). Angeline was flown to Sydney to direct a paid professional crew and the 9 fellow emerging talents in the resulting short film The Pilgrim Report which premiered at the Sydney Opera House. Recipient of the 2012 ACM Artists Grant, she raised an additional $4000 from private contributors and crowd-funding to produce her first major short film Bathrooms. Earlier this year, Angeline was flown to New York & Los Angeles as part of a career development grant that included meetings and mentorship opportunities with established professionals in the American film and television industries. This experience has heavily influenced the nature of her ongoing pursuits in writing, producing and directing. In October 2014, she was awarded the Francophone Short Film Prize (a nationwide short film competition) by The Embassy of France and Campus France Australia for her 2minute film L'Hexagon.


Current projects
2014 sees Angeline continuing post-production on her original social experiment documentary A Fear Is A Fear, writing her first full-length stage play We Are Nowhere and continuing to develop ideas for her debut feature screenplay. In July she became the Editor of Video Content for the new and innovative transmedia literary journal Betanarratives (an imprint of the renouned Australian journal The Lifted Brow). She is also completing her final year of university and will graduate in 2014 with a BA in Media (Major in Film/TV, Minor Philosophy and French).
