BIG WONDER PODCAST – Episode #18 Sally McLean
Wow, what a special podcast. Sally McLean is a successful actor, writer, director and producer. Her list of achievements is staggering and her upcoming projects are definitely ones to look out for. Sally is also the curator of ‘Shorts Relief: Flicks for the fires’ a film festival she has put together in order to raise money for Victoria’s wildlife and other bushfire related charities. The festival will be held at the newly renovated Capitol Theatre in Melbourne on the 8th of March. So naturally, when she told me about this epic event I had to get her on Big Wonder.
