Smokes and Mirrors - Screenwriters Admit to Make Believe is a collection of interviews with Australian screenwriters originally published in Metro Magazine and Cinema Papers. In these revealing conversations Keith Thompson tries to imagine a three dimensional image dancing. Peter Yeldham agrees it's all in your mind. For Mark Shirrefs it's about a different way of looking at things. Andrew Knight strives to get to the heart of the matter. Roger Simpson searches for the story engine. John Hughes works between fact and fiction. Everett de Roche claims to be only the writer. For Shane Maloney the stories are always about crime, politics and the girl. And Elizabeth Huntly quite literally hears voices. All nine writers are talking about the art of make-believe, of putting words on a page for the purpose of producing moving images, of holding the mirror up with too many smokes in the way. All were part of a revolution in local teledrama that took place in the early 1970s and subsequently fed into the revival of Australian film and television that continues to this day.
