Rie is a screenwriter. She has won awards for her screenwriting, and that is where her future lies.

She makes short films and has worked on other people's films in many capacities.

She has written short stories, poetry and plays, but her main love is the screen.

Born in the UK in 1953, she came to Australia when she was 16. She worked as a librarian, researcher, administrator and lecturer, but eventually settled into High School English teaching while she raised her three children.

As the children reached the age where, when they asked, "what's for tea?" she could answer, "Whatever you like, make it yourself!" she devoted more and more of her time to learning the craft of screenwriting.

In 2006, Rie was awarded a Doctor of Creative Arts in screenwriting, from Wollongong University (Commonwealth University of the Year).

Rie also teaches workshops in making short films for school age students, workshops in screenwriting, and has worked as a script assessor for a number of producers.

Rie can be contacted about any of these on this address.
