AboutKristie Yates, Author at The Creative Issue
Kristie Yates
Hi, my name is Kristie Yates, I’ve recently graduated from a Bachelor of Media, majoring in Screen and Journalism and moved to Brisbane to marry my passion for film, photography, travel and pop culture with a career in journalism. My love of film stems from a young age when I insisted there were VHS copies of The Titanic, Star Wars and Jurassic Park at my grandmother’s house during school holidays. When I’m not checking out the latest releases, I’m generally focusing my pent up sarcasm and creative observations into my own scriptwriting projects.$5 tickets at Palace Cinemas – Australia Day weekend
