Bronte Gosper

Writer | Director

Bronte Gosper is a Wiradjuri writer from regional New South Wales working across theatre, television, film, and documentary. Her work blends satire, comedy, and drama to explore the intersections of history, institutions, and identity in contemporary Australia.

Bronte's series Musket, a coming-of-age drama following two Aboriginal boys reckoning with a stolen colonial weapon, is currently in development with SBS/NITV after being selected as one of five projects for the network's Digital Originals initiative. She is also currently in writers' rooms for two different shows with Bunya Productions.

Previously, Bronte worked at NITV in the Commissioning team as a Coordinator before joining Living Black, the network's flagship First Nations current affairs program, as a Researcher, where she produced published features and long-form journalism. Her play Yiraway, which she wrote and directed, was a finalist for the Best New Play Award at the Australian Theatre Festival in New York in 2023.

Bronte is soon to graduate from NIDA with a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Performance, where she's developed a number of projects, including The Burn, a stage play about corruption tied to Indigenous fire management funding in a regional NSW town, and the feature Gone Bush, a horror-thriller about a Wiradjuri woman drawn into a sinister cultural retreat.

Prior to NIDA, Bronte lived in New York for four years on a full John Monash Scholarship, where she studied an Oral History Master of Arts at Columbia University. Her thesis documentary The Everywhen won the Brodsky Award for most outstanding thesis in the cohort and was later featured on ABC Radio National's The Philosopher's Zone. While in New York, Bronte also completed a Development Internship at Moxie Pictures/Killer Films, developing pitch materials for documentary projects for Netflix and HBO. Her earlier documentary work includes Freedom Swimmer (2018), on a Chinese Cultural Revolution refugee, which was housed in the University of Melbourne Gallery collection.

Bronte speaks conversational Mandarin and French and is currently learning her mob's language. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne.
