Claire Goddard
Because of the War has lived with me for most of my life. Growing up in Queensland, I listened to stories about World War II told by my mother and father around the dinner table and on warm summer evenings spent outdoors enjoying the breeze. They spoke of separation, uncertainty, sacrifice and the enduring power of love during difficult times. Those stories stayed with me long after childhood. Over the years they became more than family memories; they became the inspiration for a screenplay. Much of Because of the War is drawn from real experiences, including those of my own parents during the war years. While the characters and events have been shaped into a dramatic story, the emotions at its heart are genuine. The waiting, the hope, the promises made across great distances, and the determination to hold on to love despite the uncertainty of war, all come from stories that were passed down through my family. For decades I carried those memories with me. Today, they have finally found their way to the screen. — Sally Elliot

Anne Goddard
Over the past several years, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of productions, including Rise of the Underdog (2025). As I moved from one production to the next and from theatre to theatre, my passion for acting only continued to grow. Along the way, I've gained invaluable experience, built lasting friendships, and created memories that have shaped both my career and who I am as a person. Acting has been my passion since I was a little boy, and that passion has never faded. I approach every role with dedication, a strong work ethic, and a genuine love for the craft. I strive to be a hardworking, kind, and supportive actor who not only gives my best performance but also looks out for those around me, believing that great work comes from collaboration and mutual respect.

Because of the War has lived with me for most of my life. Growing up in Queensland, I listened to stories about World War II told by my mother and father around the dinner table and on warm summer evenings spent outdoors enjoying the breeze. They spoke of separation, uncertainty, sacrifice and the enduring power of love during difficult times. Those stories stayed with me long after childhood. Over the years they became more than family memories; they became the inspiration for a screenplay. Much of Because of the War is drawn from real experiences, including those of my own parents during the war years. While the characters and events have been shaped into a dramatic story, the emotions at its heart are genuine. The waiting, the hope, the promises made across great distances, and the determination to hold on to love despite the uncertainty of war, all come from stories that were passed down through my family. For decades I carried those memories with me. Today, they have finally found their way to the screen. — Sally Elliot
