Post Script

2013 Golden Bilbys. A Thousand Plateaus scooped the Bilby's with Sam Taylor and Meredith Hinze taking out awards  for production and educational design respectively, and Justin Clemens scoring Best Actor and Lauren Bliss Best Actress. (The film was developed for Australian Indigenous Studies students but will be available for general use by anyone with an interest in Deleuze and Guattari.) Edward Morrissey took the Frog D'or for the design and engineering of an app that allows Australian Indigenous studies students to view course readers on an iOS device with the benefits of speedy navigation and easy access to citations. Works on iPad or iPhone, and an Android version is now in production. No excuses for not getting the reading done for tutorial!
