With the phenomenal success of Goolagong, the creative team behind this acclaimed biopic joins us to share their journey of bringing Evonne Goolagong Cawley's extraordinary story to the screen. Telling a real life story is complex - balancing authenticity with dramatic narrative, navigating family and cultural sensitivities, and honouring a living legend's legacy requires careful consideration at every step.

The development and production process for biopics is very different to more traditional narrative storytelling. This session will provide an in-depth overview of why the show resonated so powerfully with audiences, the multi-year development journey from initial concept to greenlight, the unique challenges of recreating iconic tennis moments and 1970s Australia, and the creative choices that brought emotional depth to this inspiring story of resilience, identity, and triumph against the odds.

Produced by Alex Baldwin.
