GrantHindin Miller
- Writer
For Auckland-born, Christchurch-based Grant Hindin Miller, scriptwriting has been just one facet of a busy creative life. The onetime teacher has written novels, poetry, six albums of music, and the scripts for three feature films. Two of them were wartime stories: the French-set A Soldier’s Tale (adapted from the novel by MK Joseph) and Gallipoli drama Chunuk Bair (inspired by the acclaimed Maurice Shadbolt play). He also wrote Depression-era odd couple tale Starlight Hotel (based on Hindin Miller's own novel, The Dream Monger).

“I consider Grant one of the best story-tellers in New Zealand. And we worked on the script until we came up with what I think is one of the best film stories to ever come out of this country.”
— Starlight Hotel director Sam Pillsbury
