And I’m so excited to bring her energy into the show. Her Late Bloomers classes are in person at Howard Fine Acting Studio or online at your own pace. She started with storytelling courses… It may be a book, play, song, film, blog, presentation, speech or even a letter. Clare’s extensive Film Festival & Writing Awards include Best Writing Award, The Extra Mile Award, Nominated Best International Director, Tropfest Shortlists 3 times, Semi-finalist in International Screenings (Los Angeles Cinefest and the Miami Independent Film Festival) After relocating to Melbourne, Clare began creating her own opportunities, writing and starring in her acclaimed solo theatre show Doing Time With Number 5, which she proudly toured to the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014. I was so happy for her as we were acting friends sometime before this and when you see someone succeed it fills us with delight!! I knew what a hard worker she was and coming back into how important my earlier training was and I can see I want to improve and motivate my early speaking experience, script work and personal development. Today, Clare is an award-winning filmmaker, director, and mentor who empowers others to discover and share their unique stories through her storytelling and courses.
