Ben Marshall // My Story from Singularity50 is Pondlife

Favourite quote: 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn' - attributed to Ernest Hemingway (but arguably not his work)

I have been active as a screenwriter for a number of years and my short script has also been chosen as a final 50 winner in the Create50 Impact film project.

I expect my screenwriting shows through as I try to write as visually and concisely as possible. With prose, I have also really felt the shackles off, going by gut whilst learning heaps through the process. I’ve indulged myself in the freedom to tell my stories, without having to worry about how someone might actually make the story come to life. Whether a short story or a screenplay my aim is always to tell a compelling narrative, usually with a simple premise.
