1 The Social Me Steven Maxwell , Brad Jennings , 2012 single work drama young adult 'Developed in consultation with Sunnybank and Marsden State Schools, The Social Me is an engaging Cinematic Theatre experience that fuses live performance and the big screen. Are the outer orbits of cyber space the new frontier of young minds? Two teenagers are searching for something different, something new, something unexplainable. Michael and Ellie connect online and it’s love at first byte. But who are they really and when are they being themselves? Is this flirtatious fun or dangerous deception?'

1 Advanced Screening 2010 Brad Jennings , Steven Maxwell , Markwell Presents , 2010 single work drama humour young adult

'A fast paced episode based story revolving around a group of friends in year 12 on the verge of finishing school and dealing with the minefield of the future and their relationships after school. William is in love with Rosy but seriously wonders if it worth risking a broken heart while he sees his friends' relationships fall apart. At the beginning of the show he asks the question; "So why is it we're not taken seriously? Young love is often trivialised by adults, but surely our emotions are just as valid as theirs. Love is consuming; relentless; it can keep us smiling for days, and it can leave us awake at night wondering hopelessly adrift in our own insecurities - does she, really love me?'
