Hello

Bret Salinger

Screenwriter • Film & TV Location Manager

My brand is Struggle Street Zeroes.

I write about outsiders, anti-heroes, failures and luckless losers breaking in, crashing through or tearing the system down.

I bring my long experience as a journalist, freelance writer and professional photographer to my screenwriting to create rich, engaging screen stories. I enjoy building character-driven narratives and complex, evocative worlds that challenge, engage and entertain in equal measure. My passions include human rights, film, politics, social justice, the environment, art, and photography. And these passions often find their way into my stories.

When it comes to location management, I combine a photographer’s eye for the visual and a writer’s eye for story to successfully scout, secure and manage film locations both large and small. My specialty is stakeholder engagement and delivering results within strict deadlines.

Outside of film and television you’ll find me tending to my native garden, woodworking or walking my dog, Murray.

I am a member of the Australian Writers Guild (AWG) and the Australian Location Managers Guild (ALMG).
