Screenwriting
After winning him ‘Best Screenplay’ at the Brisbane Indie Film Festival and a place in the Queensland Writers Centre’s ‘Scriptable’ Mentoring Scriptwriters program in 2022,[2] Bruno Starrs’ three unproduced sci-fi/comedy feature film scripts (“Pheromone City”, “Invasion Day Mk II: A Blackfella Love Story” and “Attack of the Horny Killer Monkeys!”) won a combined total of 50 ‘Best Screenplay’ awards in 2023.[3]
Academia
Bruno Starrs holds six degrees, including two Masters and a PhD in creative writing and film studies.[4] He has lectured in English literature and cinema at universities in Australia, Brunei, China, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.[5] Bruno Starrs has over 70 sole-authored publications, garnering him a H-index of 6 and an i-10 of 4.[6] His research interests include the films of Rolf de Heer[7] and the cinema of Brunei[8] but his most influential academic research has been in vampirology,[9] exposing Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” as Catholic propaganda in 2004,[10] writing an Indigenous Australian-themed vampire novel “That Blackfella Bloodsucka Dance!” in 2012[11] and creating a new horror sub-genre, the ‘Aboriginal Fantastic’, in 2014.[12]
