Armstrong’s films are unique in their aesthetic expression and in the ethical relationships that they depict, framed through the language of gender inclusivity and due in part to her foregrounding of original, complex and nuanced female characters. This important book fills a gap in the literature on women screen practitioners and is a long overdue response to demands for new insight into the work of this significant director.

She wants to be a singing star and her 14-year old oddball cousin Angus (Ross O'Donovan) has a crazy showbiz idea that might just make it happen for her. Manipulating the media, Angus pulls off a brazen publicity stunt that instantly turns Jackie in to the celebrity of the day, bringing her to the attention of pop music guru Terry Lambert (John O'May). Now all Jackie needs to do is appear on the Oz TV rock show 'Wow', make sure that her band, The Wombats, are selected to compete in the New Years Eve rock concert at the Sydney Opera house, win the $25,000 prize...and save the family pub from bankruptcy.
