1 The Making of Monkey Puzzle : Filmmaker Notes Mark Forstmann , 2010 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Perspectives Essays 2010; 'Monkey Puzzle follows a group of five young friends who journey into pristine wilderness. The object of their search - the Wollemi Pine - is a "dinosaur" tree. Scientists say it should have gone extinct at the time of the dinosaurs. It didn't. Somehow it clung onto life. For this reason the location of the last remote gully on earth, which hosts this tree, is withheld from the public. The puzzle, that is this rare tree, sets up the film.' (Introduction)

'Set in the canyons of the Blue Mountains, Monkey Puzzle is the story of a journey. Dylan takes his best friend Carl and three others on a trip to find the world's rarest tree. As they descend into the harsh ravines and canyons, the wilderness closes in on them. They come face to face with haunted pasts, unrequited love and fear of intimacy. They learn hard truths of friendship and find that letting go of the past can have devastating and liberating consequences.'
