Carolyn Bilsborow is an award-winning documentary storyteller with broadcast credits for films co-produced with Wayne Groom including Marjorie Lawrence: The World at Her Feet and Paris or the Bush: The Story of the Cods. In 2018, Carolyn wrote and directed a film investigating the enduring mystery of the “Somerton Man”—the unidentified man found dead on Somerton Beach in 1948. Following the film’s premiere researchers successfully identified the man, bringing a 74-year-old mystery to a close. Carolyn’s work on the film also featured across three episodes of the ABC’s Australian Story.

In 2017, Carolyn & Wayne were nominated for an Australian Writers’ Guild Award (AWGIE) for Paris or the Bush. In 2023, they received the History Trust of South Australia’s Digital Technologies Award in recognition of their contribution to historical documentary filmmaking.

Most recently, Carolyn completed a feature-length documentary on Graeham Goble, a founding member of the iconic Australian act Little River Band. 

Through her work, Carolyn is drawn to stories that uncover hidden histories, celebrate remarkable lives, and reveal the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
