I’m A Writer

Synopsis:

Growing up, Walter accepted that having dyslexia meant he would never be a writer. Now, in his final year of screenwriting, Walter works to finish his feature film script. Walter is one of thousands of aspiring Australian screenwriters uncertain of his chances of getting his work made. I’M A WRITER is a 5 minute documentary that depicts a young artist to whom writing is unequivocally the most important thing.
