Aussie screen stars will unite at The Capitol to aid bushfire relief

Guy Pearce, Christopher Kirby, Michala Banas, Angus Sampson and Genevieve Morris: what do all of these names have in common?

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.
