Mac Gudgeon Obituary

Australian screenwriter and former president of the Writers’ Guild, Mac Gudgeon has been reported dead. He died after a long illness on May 29, 2023, at age 74.

Many people have expressed their condolences after his death was announced.

“Mac was a towering presence in the Guild. He was not just our heart and soul, he was our conscience, that little voice in our head that said, ‘We have to fight this.’ And fight we did, so many battles with Mac standing, unflinching, on the front line. Mac didn’t just man the barricades, he built them. His contribution to this Guild, to the place we earned at the table, to the concessions we won over decades, should never be forgotten. And yes, Mac was a helluva writer,” The Australian Writers’ Guild President Shane Brennan shared.

“A highly esteemed screenwriter and former member of VicScreen (previously Film Victoria) Board, Mac Gudgeon used his platform to advocate for writer’s rights, leaving a lasting and positive impact in our industry. He will be missed,” the VicScreen page wrote.

“RIP Mac Gudgeon. A lion of Oz writing & advocacy for Oz writers. Generous with help & advice. Wrote many great scripts including Waterfront & Ground Zero. A conscientious objector to the Vietnam War & committed trade unionist,” actor Ned Manning wrote.
