Places & Travel

We welcome back the amazing and talented Karin Altman, a global citizen who has made her life works in Cinema.  Karin is a scriptwriter who has worked in Australia, the UK and of course frequently in LA.  Karin has worked on projects including Oscar nominated scripts and even sang with Mick Jagger in Ned Kelley.  Obviously having done something right, her two beautiful sons are out and proud members of the Rainbow Family, one soon marrying his husband, the other high kicking his way around Europe is the fabulous Reuben Kaye.

Karin talks about being a little girl leaving Berlin at the beginning of WWII, being a part of the Jewish diaspora and her unyelding love for Melbourne.

This is the short Karin Mentioned (Jasper Morello):
