‘My Brilliant Career’ Out Now on Netflix

Based on the iconic Australian title by Miles Franklin, My Brilliant Career, Developed, Written and Executive Produced by Liz Doran, is finally available for streaming on Netflix.

Sybylla is a shockingly modern young woman with one searing ambition - to be a writer, while her family is determined to marry her off. With an irrepressible taste for fun, Sybylla breaks every convention of 1900 Australia as she searches for a story that will allow her to write her way to independence. For her, the choice between adventure or marriage seems easy, until she falls in love. Will Sybylla marry, or will she risk it all for a creative life?

Marden Dean worked as cinematographer, and Amelia Ford edited.

The fabulous cast includes Kate Mulvany as ‘Augusta’.

My Brilliant Career was produced by Jungle Entertainment and the cast also includes Phillipa Northeast (Territory, The Newsreader) as ‘Sybylla’, Christopher Chung as ‘Harry’ (Slow Horses), Anna Chancellor as ‘Mrs. Bossier’ (My Lady Jane, Outrageous), Genevieve O’Reilly as ‘Helen’ (Andor, The Dry), and Jake Dunn (What It Feels Like For a Girl) as ‘Frank’.
