Late Bloomers Fest: Creating space for storytellers over 50
A conversation about launching Late Bloomers Fest, a film festival built to celebrate creatives over 50 and the stories they want to tell. Clare Pickering, Gary Boulter, and Ali Aitken share why the festival exists, who it’s for, and how it aims to challenge ageism in film and television.
We discuss the realities of making work later in life, the difference between ageism for men and women in the industry, and how the festival is designed to be more than a screening event - it’s also a way to connect filmmakers, cast, and crew.
Key topics
- Clare Pickering explains how the idea began after a Tropfest panel where she asked why support for emerging filmmakers rarely includes people who start later in life
- Late Bloomers Fest is open to creatives over 50, with at least 50% of cast and crew over 50, and stories focused on people over 50
- Submissions opened on 1 July 2026, close on 1 November 2026, and the screening event is planned for 6 December 2026 as a red carpet celebration
- Gary Boulter describes the festival as a response to how rarely mainstream screen stories center people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond
- Ali Aitken shares that many people feel overlooked after leaving acting and returning later in life, especially outside the traditional drama school route
- The panel discusses how older creatives bring lived experience, organization, and perspective that can’t be taught in film school
- Clare argues that ageism is especially strong for women, noting that auditions and roles often drop sharply after 40
- The group contrasts theatre and screen, suggesting theatre may be more open to older performers than film and television
- The festival is also intended as a networking space, with plans for a community page where filmmakers over 50 can find collaborators, crew, and advice. Join us today at Late Bloomers Fest Cast & Crew

Notas del episodio
In this episode, we explore the inspiring story of actor and podcaster Chris Gun, whose career exemplifies that regional talent can shine globally with the right mindset, persistence, and craft. We discuss how Adelaide actors are making waves, the importance of embracing opportunities, and the power of a resilient mental attitude in navigating industry challenges.
Main insights:
- Success in acting depends as much on mindset and persistence as talent.
- Regional actors like Chris demonstrate that opportunities are accessible regardless of location.
- Building a career involves continuous learning—through on-set experience, workshops, and self-initiated projects.
- The misconception that regional markets lack opportunities is outdated; it's about visibility and making your own opportunities.
- The importance of maintaining fun and passion to sustain long-term growth in a competitive industry.
- Industry quiet periods are normal; use them for skill development, networking, and creating your own work.
- The "Go Pluck Yourself" philosophy emphasizes self-reliance and authentic conversations among actors.
- A diverse array of podcasts and self-education plays a crucial role in professional growth.
- Authenticity and owning your unique path are often what set you apart—formal training helps but is not the only route.
- Success stories like playing Noel Gallagher inspire regional actors to aim higher and think bigger.
As always, remember that success in acting is a journey of continuous growth, resilience, and self-belief. Whether you’re from a regional market or a major city, your unique voice and dedication are your greatest assets. Keep pushing, keep creating, and trust that opportunities will come when you do the work.

In this episode, we explore the unique dynamics of starting young versus later in life as an actor. With insights from students at Flinders University, namely return guest Connor Clark (my son) and fellow class-mates Sienna Druce and Jakub Hapugoda, the conversation reveals that regardless of age, the core fears, joys, and learning curves are remarkably similar. Understanding these parallels can empower both early starters and late bloomers to embrace their distinct journeys with confidence.
This episode underscores that the secret isn’t when you start, but how you approach the craft—whether with curiosity, resilience, or joy. Remember, in acting as in life, there truly is no right age—only the courage to begin. Keep blooming, wherever you are on your journey.
Key topics:
- The importance of experimentation and safe failure early in the acting career
- How experience, perspective, and life lessons shape acting maturity
- The role of discipline, resilience, and fun in training and professional work
- The benefits and challenges of starting young, including unlearning habits
- How older actors sometimes overthink, while younger actors retain playfulness
- Practical advice for managing expectations, building a toolbox, and continuous learning
- The mindset shifts necessary to thrive at any stage of acting
