Rosamund Brennan
Rosamund Brennan covers entertainment with an emphasis on the physical spaces and industry structures that underpin film, television and live music. She reports for the Guardian on stories that connect local venues and production hubs to wider economic and cultural currents, keeping the focus on place, investment and legacy rather than celebrity. Her wider portfolio across news and lifestyle titles shows a consistent interest in how creative industries grow, how audiences encounter culture, and how specific rooms, neighbourhoods and scenes become central to those stories.
Film studios and screen production hubs
In her coverage of a proposed $290m film studio on a former cow paddock, Brennan turns a single development into an examination of how major infrastructure is framed as a way to lure Hollywood productions to Perth. The piece treats the studio itself - its cost, its location and its ambitions - as the main subject, using the question of whether it can attract international shoots to explore how local screen sectors position themselves within a global industry.
This approach reflects a broader habit of treating entertainment as an economic and structural story, where decisions about facilities and investment sit alongside the creative work that will eventually be made inside them.
Australia’s most loved music venues
Brennan contributes to Guardian Australia’s series on the history and legacy of Australia’s most loved music venues, including a feature on the Mojos band room in Fremantle. In that work she treats the venue as a cultural institution, tracing its role in local music communities and its significance over time rather than simply cataloguing marquee performances. The emphasis on place, memory and the evolution of live music spaces aligns with her wider focus on how entertainment is anchored in particular rooms and neighbourhoods, and how those spaces accumulate meaning for artists and audiences alike.
Arts, culture and lifestyle across outlets
Beyond the Guardian, Brennan writes for a range of Australian and international publications, including Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle, The Australian, The Sunday Telegraph, Qantas Magazine, ArtsHub, MiNDFOOD, Delicious and Peppermint Magazine. The mix of news organisations, arts platforms and lifestyle magazines points to a practice of culturally focused feature writing that adapts to different readerships while keeping creative subjects at the centre.
Across these outlets she works within arts, culture and lifestyle territory, extending her entertainment coverage beyond screen and music into broader questions of taste, design, food and everyday cultural experience.
